Spend on an equivalent Clearaudio (upon which the McIntosh is based). And use the savings to get a better separate phono amp and Nagaoka MP500..
McIntosh MT5 vs Rega 8 or 10
Does anyone have thoughts on these turntables? I love the green platter of the McIntosh, but looking for overall best sound. I do have McIntosh mono amps but my dealer is telling me there is a year and a half wait for the MT5.
