This is one beautiful turntable that is well design and easy to use. All speeds known to man, 33, 45 and 78 and you don’t have to change the belt just change the knob to your desired speed. Most Belt drive tables can’t do that. It has a brand new Rega Carbon cartridge AKA Audio Technical X3600L.My Video says a Grado not so, I was incorrect. Recommended tracking is between 3-3.5 Grams, no it does not hurt the records as this cartridge has a special type of absorption. The TT has been balanced and tested to work flawless. You can use the built-in preamp or just line out if you have an external pre-amp or receiver. It gives you the flexibility others don’t have. The speed can be adjusted in the rear of the TT. In Full disclosure, the ground screw was loose so I welded the ground cable for better contact. The turntable looks brand new but please realize it has been preowned but well take care as you can see from the pics. The Dust cover is included and it seems perfect except for some scratches that are barely noticeable. I will pack this turntable very well meaning separating the plater so it does not bang around the dust cover and make sure it has a good trip considering how UPS and FEDEX damage this kind of item.

Music Hall championed vinyl decades before the current generation of hipsters discovered the glories of the groove, so I have to admit Im more than a little late to reviewing a Music Hall turntable. This one here in my listening room, the Music Hall mmf-1.5 feels like an auspicious beginning. The handsome plinth base, cast aluminum platter with a thick mat and curved aluminum arm caught my eye. The real cherry wood veneered base feels luxurious, and the mmf-1.5s removable headshell is a feature you wont find on Pro-Ject Debut Carbon or Rega turntables. I like removable headshells because they come in handy if you want to easily swap cartridges for different occasions. For example, pop on a spare headshell with a cheap cartridge when youre throwing a party, and another headshell with a higher-end cartridge for the times you want to go deep with your music. The mmf-1.5 is a belt-drive design that plays 33.3, 45 and 78 rpm records. Turntable set up is a snap thanks to the premounted Melody moving-magnet phono cartridge. The turntable has a built-in phono preamp, but if you have a decent phono preamp you can bypass the mmf-1.5s internal one. I listened both ways, with a $129 Schiit Mani phono preamp, and with the mmf-1.5s built-in one, which was decent enough, but the Schiit is a worthwhile upgrade. Also deserving special mention is the mmf-1.5s tonearm cueing device, its a smooth operator raising and lowering the arm, and the cueing lever feels sturdier than average. Im not much of an Elvis Presley fan, but when I found an Elvis 24 Karat Hits! LP on the street a few years ago I played it once or twice and filed it away. In the midst of writing this review I by chance played that LP again. This time Elvis spoke to me, his phrasing and power, and his bands rockin rhythms got my juices flowing. The mmf-1.5 brought me closer to Elvis music, the production and sound quality, which I never noticed before. The mmf-1.5 may not have the gutsy bass brawn of a big direct drive turntable like a Pioneer PLX 1000 ($699), but the mmf-1.5 wins on finesse and regularly occurring musical epiphanies that make it hard to stop playing one LP after another. Tenor saxophonist Ike Quebecs brilliant Bossa Nova, Soul Samba LP from 1962 was where the allure of analog sound really kicked in. Quebecs rounded tone and fuller sound were the sort you rarely experience with digital files. Ive said it before, but the best way to enjoy digital audio is never listen to a well recorded LP on a decent turntable. Digital may be clearer, but digital inevitably winds up sounding more two-dimensional, and less like real humans playing tunes.
