Maybe, but remember tooling is expensive and turntables are wanting lots of. Emotiva could build their own turntable but with the Music Hall turntables already available, you just need provide the blue light. Cheaper than the Mac table, and makes more room for more music. Your mileage may vary, however.

I was referring to before the Music Hall addition to the website. Big Dan teased some photos of a Emotiva TT. It was done in conjunction with ClearAudio. I am thinking that this new McIntosh is the cousin of that TT.
This has to be 4 years ago.

Oh man that looks good! I would totally buy this if emotiva released this! I want this now. See this is what my complaints are; instead of releasing this they released the control freak, the big and little ego, and some other bs that I will never ever buy or need.

That prototype is from about 4 years ago. I do not believe they decided to go into production. Seeing the price of the McIntosh the Emotiva was probably going to be about $1,500. Which Emotiva probably decided was too high a price point.
This is all conjecture, as usual I know nothing. Just putting the puzzle together.

I understand your frustration but you stick with what you do. I have a Restaraunt in Louisiana and don't do seafood, what I do I do well but seafood ain't it. Don't do something you can't be great to best at! TT's are a very small market and very specialized and competitive! Why waid into a sharks pool? Just my two cents but I believe Emotiva decided to stay on the path they know well at this point.

Your mileage may vary, however. Is the turntable market considered crowded? Is it a rather tough period for new companies to enter?

More choices than CD and Bluray players combined. Yeah that is right. Allot of tables are custom, and allot are from start up individuals breaking into the field. So yes, many to chose from.

I bet Dan or Lonnie have that one-off Emotiva prototype turntable in their home two-channel room!
