It arrives with the cartridge installed and is designed to play both 33⅓ and 45 rpm records, making it a much more approachable option for customers who want strong analogue performance without starting from scratch. The damped dural-aluminium tonearm, precision bearing design and substantial platter construction are all there to help deliver stable, accurate playback with low noise and a confident, composed sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe MT2 also has the visual and ownership appeal many customers want from a premium turntable.
