McIntosh MT5 Turntable with Koetsu Black MC Cartridge (3k$) and MNPCtech isoltion feet in black (300$)Unit is about 3.5 years old.  Cartridge is about a year old.  Very little play time.  I would say 5 hours on the cartridge.  I am too tired by the end of the day to mess with vinyl.  I got into this in the lockdown of 2020 and kind of out grew it.  Have original box and papers with this unit.  Was purchased from Magnolia Best Buy in Costa Mesa.  Cartridge was purchased and installed by Excel Audio in OC.  

The McIntosh MT5 Precision Turntable is a complete turntable package that is more than the sum of its parts. Engineered to exacting McIntosh standards, each piece contributes to deliver a superb performance.

The custom tone arm and matching moving coil cartridge track records with minimum friction using magnetic antiskate and horizontal, tone-arm bearings.
