Anyone know if it has a changeable headshell? Appears that it is held in place with a couple of screws.

This deck looks way, WAY sharper than the other McIntosh turntables. I never could warm up to having a front faceplate on a turntable. As for pricing - Clearaudio and McIntosh are 2 companies that charge dearly for their gear. When I saw the opening post, that $2500 figure was lower than I would have expected for this collaboration. Unfortunately it's not surprising it ended up at $4000. That would place this deck right around the Performance DC (plus cartridge) in Clearaudio's line.

I heard the price will actually be around $4000 to $4500 now if it happens.

Parts that were inherited from the SL-1200G were newly developed for the SL-1200GR, beginning with the coreless direct-drive motor and precise motor control technology that eliminated the cogging that originated from rotation irregularity, and including a low-vibration, high-rigidity platter and high-sensitivity tonearm. ( The 2M headshell is a practical and elegant solution for our customers who wish direct and easy mounting and replacement on their S-shaped tonearm. The combination of 2M Headshell and 2M Series cartridge adds unique distinction to the turntable! Features: - Universal mount fitting a wide range of S-shaped tonearms. - Weight with a 2M cartridge pre-mounted 20 g. - The headshell body is manufactured from a special compound used for Medical industry, ensures high rigidity while reducing unwanted vibration - Elegant hi-tech design - Length 52mm. Headshell with a 2M cartridge pre-mounted provides correct Baerwald alignment with Ortofon TA-110/ TA-210 tonearms, likewise with the major part of tonearms with universal mount ) Makes life easier when your eyesight not as good when you were twenty Dan

I have heard that the MT2 should be available in Europe in April. My local reseller should receive one unit in April.
