Music Hall - Mmf-2.2 With Tracker Mm Cartridge Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Until I bought this gem from Music Hall, I was for years using a serviceable Sony PSLX250H automatic turntable for all my vinyl listening pleasure. Even though the upgraded elliptical stylus I bought for the Sony made a world of difference in its quality of sound, I wanted to get a true audiophile-quality rig at a reasonable price...meaning I didn't want one costing as much or more than my mortgage payment.
I studied entry-level tables from the usual suspects: Rega, Pro-Ject and Music Hall. My decision came down between the latter two, and I chose the Music Hall for its greater user-adjustability. I'm not so sure one can really go wrong with any of these choices, but I'm absolutely blown away by the performance of this sub-$500 rig. Though it's cliche to state, I truly am hearing things in the music I didn't before. When spinning, this thing is dead quiet and smooth. The bottom end is tight and defined, and the highs are crisp with no distortion that I can detect. About the only negative thing is that it's SO good at reproducing sound that the snap-crackle-pops of used records are more audible. When the music kicks in, though, I could hardly care.
Some professional reviews suggest it takes 30 minutes or less to set up out of the box. As an inexperienced, budding audiophile, it took me a bit longer. This was by no means the fault of the excellently written instruction manual. I haven't had the occassion to contact customer service, but I understand Music Hall's is second to none.
If you're on a budget like me, have an ever-expanding vinyl collection and are wondering what you might be missing without an audiophile turntable...look no further than the Music Hall MMF-2.2.
