Customer Reviews

Roy Hall Knows His Stuff!
First Rate Turntable! While it is easily possible to drop far more cash on esoteric models by other manufacturers, I don't think you can actually buy much more performance except in perhaps a <1% degree. Very respectable Project tone arm, heavy glass platter, included Goldring cartridge is a decent introductory, but begs for an upgrade. I outfitted my MMF-5 with a Sumiko Blackbird, which is easily superior to all other entries in the <$1000 category IMHO, and my ears! Very Nice piano finish and heavy hinged dust cover, adjustable VTA, all brought together in a stylish component! For another $500+ the next model Music Hall MMF 7 Turntable is also a good option, with some additional features, but one will pay a premium for slightly incremental upgrade.
