I have a MT2 about two weeks now. Before that i had a Clearaudio Performance DC turntable.
For my system (MA9000 integrated amp) the MT2 with the Sumiko Blue Point cartrige fits better. I use the MC input with 1000ohm. With this setting i get a very strong and full sound of my vinyl records. For me the MT2 fits perfect! |

That's not a detachable headshell in the photos of the MT2, is it? Hard to tell.

MT2 from a Clearaudio Performance DC? Isn’t that a downgrade? How does the new Mac compare. I would be surprised if you found the Mac better?

The MT2 has more bass and plays a bit louder. The seperation of the instruments is easier to follow! OK maybe it has also something to do with it glows green |

The MT2 is my first turntable, so hard for me to compare to others. But, I replaced my Blue Point with a Hana SL and the difference has been amazing. The Hana has been better in every aspect.

I have a clearaudio Concept Wood with the top of the line Hana MC cart as well. It outclasses my table for sure but great sounds from this modest rig. I might upgrade to a MT5 one day but I am convinced the MT2 wouldn’t be a big enough leap from where I am for dough.

Isn’t the MT2 based on the clearaudio concept anyway? I might be very wrong.

It certainly is beautiful. Makes me wonder if the initial attraction to the green glow of the MT5 or MT10 would wane over time ?
