As I don't have a hermetically sealed dust free environment in which to play my records the turntable I choose better come with a dust cover.

A list of rumoured Record Store Day 2018 exclusives has emerged

[KenM10759]

Nice list, though much obscure to me. I always end up buying at least a couple on the day.

McIntosh enters the entry level turntable. I have no pricing information... Correction.. price is a cool $4K US

Mc just always knocks it out of the park on the visual designs!

That's debatable Scotch helps that.

$6500 (US) for a turntable! Better speakers / subwoofers would be a better choice, just my 0.02 cents.

ANyone who pops for a $6500 turntable should already have better speakers and may not even need subwoofer(s). Also, subs are usually a bad idea when a turntable is used, unless the table is completely isolated from the room.

At $6500, the bass from full range speakers would cause as much problem as a subwoofer so good isolation would be a good idea whether speakers or subwoofer.

agreed, but as for the MT2 @ 4k with what looks like a Sumiko Blue Point might just be a sweet package. I wonder if they teamed up with Clearaudio on the piece ?

Most beautiful turntable I've seen; but, it's too much money for me.
