HiFi+ Editors Choice 2020
McIntosh MTI100 Integrated Turntable

Turntable? ✔ Amplifier? ✔ Vacuum tube preamplifier? ✔ Phono preamplifier? ✔ Analog input? ✔ Digital inputs? ✔ Bluetooth® receiver? ✔ Speaker outputs? ✔ Subwoofer output? ✔ Headphone jack? ✔ McIntosh engineering? ✔ What else do I need? Just add your music and speakers.

At first glance, the McIntosh MTI100 Integrated Turntable may look like it’s just a turntable, but a closer look will reveal that it is in fact so much more. Truly a one-of-a-kind product, it is designed for those who want maximum flexibility in their home audio system but don’t want – or don’t have the space for – a large audio system in their home. With all the built-in connectivity the MTI100 offers, it can become the center piece of a modern home audio system for modern lifestyles. Simply add your favorite speakers of choice (such as our XR50 bookshelf or XR100 floorstanding speakers) and you’ll have a complete and comprehensive audio system.

The MTI100 "manages to deliver on almost everything vinyl enthusiasts prize about the format." The amount of detail it delivers "without sounding in any way prissy or analytical is no easy task," and the "mastery of low-level harmonic dynamics on display here is considerable." Winner of a HiFi+ Editor's Choice 2020 Award. - HiFi+

"There is no audible noise in any section of the MTI100. Phono and digital sections are free of playback artifacts, even with highly sensitive speakers... a piece of sonic artistry, that provides high-end sound from all the sources you can imagine, and looks great doing it... The level of quality, functionality, and audio performance makes it the perfect purchase for anyone wanting a high quality, all-inclusive music system." Named The Audiophile Apartment’s Product of the Year 2019. - The Audiophile Apartment

McIntosh MTI100 Integrated Turntable

The 7 pound (3.18 kg) machined aluminum platter resides on the top of the unit. This and the matching machined aluminum tonearm with anti-skate sit atop a 3/8” (9.5mm) thick piece of glass – the same glass found in the front panels of our larger amplifiers; this in turn sits atop a custom 1/4” (6.35mm) thick metal plate that adds stability. The combined heftiness of both the platter and metal plate helps resist and absorb noise that could be caused by external vibrations.

The MTI100 "oozes class and luxury..." no other product Brockhouse has reviewed "elicited more oohs and ahs than the MTI100..." its "big, spacious sound" made "listening to music an event." - SoundStage

A Class D amplifier that’s rated for 80 Watts per channel into 4 Ohms or 50 Watts per channel into 8 Ohms is used to drive a pair of speakers (sold separately) that are connected via the back panel speaker binding posts. Two 12AX7 vacuum tubes power the main preamplifier section, while a separate dedicated phono preamplifier is housed in a custom shielding box that prevents interference or noise from seeping into the vinyl signal. Together, the vacuum tube preamplifier and shielded phono preamplifier are a perfect choice to help make your vinyl albums sound their best.

"For an all-in-one device, the MTI100 rocks!" With all its connectivity options, "it can comfortably function as the heart of a more extensive system... sure to appeal to today’s millennials who have a vinyl collection and high expectations for sound quality, as well as to audiophiles who may be down/right-sizing or looking for a simple second system with minimal compromise." - SoundStage Australia
