Pros: The table, once properly set up, sounds great for the price even with the stock cartridge. Follow the guides that come with the system and supplement that with a few youtube videos and you'll have a great sounding table.
Cons: I found the anti-skate weight included to be too heavy. I ended up creating my own with about 1/2 the weight of the included weight to get a more even sound and less swinging of the tone arm every time it was lifted from the platter. I've also had intermittent issues raising the tone arm and having it kind of stick. I've seen other individuals with this issue on vinyl forums and have contacted the manufacturer about this issue but have never received a response.
With the issues with the tone arm and the lack of response from the manufacturer, I would probably recommend checking out the pro-ject debut carbon for a table in this price range.

Plays my record flawlessly without any problems so far. The Setup was pretty easy for anyone who has had a record player before and a decent price for a great player i recommend to anyone.

I have owned this particular TT for about 5 years. A couple of years ago the motor died and I had it replaced. Recently I took it for service and they said it was only outputting in one channel. I guess, I didn't notice, go figure. Anyways, they had to re-solder some of the connections. I upgraded the cart to a Grado Gold 1 a few years ago. Sounds nice to my ears. Especially when both channels are working. You can do better at this price point, though. I would recommend the Rega RP-1 for the money. It is a better built TT. The music hall is just sourced out from Pro-Ject and even says Pro-Ject on the arm. There is nothing wrong with the Pro-Ject, it's just that the Rega is better. They didn't have that particular model when I bought my TT. Wasn't much choice at the time. When I upgrade a few years from now I will get an RP-3.

I put on a old record I got of Ebay for .99 cents. It started playing Kay Starr's - Wheel Of Fortune when the roulette wheel started I actual turned around because I thought some kid was running with a stick though my wood fence.
The sound was amazing and made we understand what we have lost in the digital age some times you
just got to get back to good old basics
Was easy to set up looks very nice in Red. Treat yourself to this if you love music and don't want to break the bank
this is it.

I did not know that it operated on d.c. current..however this does make the unit shallower/smaller...it is compact.
The output cable is too short...generally the unit is o.k.

I knew what I was getting when I bought this baby. All of the reviews on the World Wide Web rated the 2.2 very high for sound quality and looks. I bought one for a good friend last year and had plenty of time to hear it and see what all the reviews had been talking about. My very own 2.2 sits in my apt waiting to be played daily. The only beef is that the set up instructions could be better and more detailed. There is a YouTube video for one of their higher price units that did help with the set up.
Do yourself a favor and buy one. You won't regret it.

For an re-entry into vinyl this is a very nice turntable, set up fairly simple, sounds and looks good with a reasonable price point. Very simple on off, have to move the belt to switch from 33.3/3 to 45 is a little cumbersome.

Well, it is beautiful... I will give it that. I guess that is worthy of a 1 out of 5. If amazon gave me a choice though, I would have given it I a zero! I got to step six on its assembly (placing the counterweight on the tone arm). Not only does it not even come close to fitting, trying to "screw the counterweight on counter-clockwise", resulted in breaking off the rear portion of the tone arm. What a pile of $500 garbage! It is, literally, useless to me now and will be making its way into my dumpster in a few minutes... I should have known better than to stray from my good luck with the Rega RP-1... Avoid this s***pile at all costs!

So, i'm new to the whole turntable scene.
I started with a cheap old sanyo table and moving to this one was great!
There is a bit of static problems with the felt pad for the platter.
Easy set up but follow the instructions!
I can't compare this to other similar tables but in my research i concluded that this table was right for me. I can't image other tables in this price range sound much different. I chose this one because i like the look (it's sexy) and it can be upgraded to an extent.
Good starter table!

This turntable has three great virtues.
Elegant clean lines in design.
Smooth efficient operation.
Simple uncomplicated mechanical design. As a mechanical engineer I appreciate this.
The assembly instructions were clear and setup was no problem.
One thing to note. The parts list indicates that the turntable has four feet.
There are actually three. This is actually good design. Three feet are stable.

Well this took at least 30 minutes to set up but was well worth it. It's a precise instrument that produces fantastic sound. I'm not an audiophile; but I create films and know good audio when I hear it.
I'm also a fan of the minimalist design. It's definitely a piece you'll want to display wherever you play your vinyl.

I know a little about turntables. I am 58 and had one from the time I started loving music (about 10 years old) until the new CD format came out. For the lasst 30 years I have not really used a table though. I have owned about every consumer brand from the 60's and 70's from Zenith, Garrard, Dual, Sony, and I finally endied up with a Luxman when everything went digital. I have heard all the recent talk about analog playback, and over the last ten years or so, I have gone back and bought many old tube amps (Fisher, Dynaco, Marantz, and Harman Kardon) I am a firm believer in analog gear. But I didn't have a turntable. The Louxman went crazy and the motor spins like crazy....so I started studying turntables. I really wanted a Rega, but after reading about the subject quality of the RP1 I looked at Pro-Ject and Music Hall. I had read somewhere that Pro-Ject made the table for Music Hall, but I found a factory refurbished MMF-2.2 at Needle Doctor for $360.00 complete with Goldring cartridge (Music Hall Tracker). At this price, I had to jump in. I figured that if this was not enough table for me, I could always sell it, and get all my money back and then step up to the Rega P3, for $895 plus cartridge.
I am pretty much thrilled. I think the build quality is amazing. The piano balck finish is beautiful. The arm is pretty awesome. the motor ultra quiet. I did upgrade the platter to the Acryl-It Platter, mainly because I had heard negative things about the platter and slipmat shipped with the MMF. Plus it looks ultra cool. The music just flows from this little jem. I have an Audio Technica AT120E to upgrade the cartridge at a latter date (it used to be my favorite 30 years ago).
I really can't thnk of any downside to the table at all. It came set up with the proper settings for the turntable, and has a few tools to help in setting a new cartridge. The instructions are well written, and you can definately tell the difference in a good recording and a great one.
For the money, I don't think you can buy a better table. I wonder if a blind test using the same downstream components, and the same cartridge would be noticable? I just don't know, and any improvements must be incremental. I don't think paying three times as much for a turntable is going to make it sound three times better. Plus this is like tube amp, where tweaking and tube rolling make a difference. It's just fun to own. Unlike the modern, sterile CD Players and solid state amps..
Buy this sweet little turntable and you won't be disappointed. It is sweet, and has many tweaks which can be done to improve it's sound. Or you can always sell it and get your money back. You never see these on the Bay for sale at all. Highly Recommended.....AAA+++

I bought one of these earlier this month and though it looked nice and was easy to set up the actual quality of the turntable is terrible. I read online that Music Hall had quality control issues but I dismissed the claims because of the specs that this TT has but once I got mine in the mail I realized that I was another sucker fooled. The platter wobbles, the tone arm wasn't good (very light and wasn't even a music hall tone arm, it said Pro-Ject on it!), the anti skate was flimsy and the tone arm rest was cheap plastic that would let the tonearm loose with any slight brush against it. The cartridge that is on it does sound good and the motor is extremely silent, I will give Music Hall that but what is the point of a good motor and cart with a bad sup platter/platter/tonearm. Over all I would not recommend buying one of these. I hear good things about the model above this but there is too many cut corners on the 2.2.

First off, I know little about turntables. This is my first one, so I'll keep my review brief. For reference, I am using this turntable with a TC-750 preamp, playing through Logitech z5500 speakers.
Though I can't really compare this turntable to others, I will say that I absolutely love it! It is both beautiful and easy to use. Set-up took no more than 20 mins, and I was being meticulous. It runs smoothly and quietly, and most important of all it sounds great! As the one-star reviewer before me noted, the tone-arm is by Pro-ject. I've had none of his/her issues, however. The platter operates without wobbles, and I don't find the tone-arm rest or the anti-skating weight to be flimsy..
In short, I'm very satisfied with my purchase. I expect to get many years of use from this turntable.

This is an excellent and musical sounding 'table that basically picks and chooses from what is known to work and puts it in a nice , easy to use package. It's simplicity, like the Rega 'tables is what makes it such a good entry point for serious record listeners.

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.

I really like this turntable overall. However, I hate that you have to remove the turntable platter to change the playing speed from 33 to 45. It is a hassle, and discourages me from buying LPs in the 45 rpm format!

After quite a bit of research and demoing at my local audio store, I choose this table and then purchased the Bellari tube preamp for 250 on needle doc.
The combination is really wonderful. Highly recommend it.
Now I have to DIY a good vacuum record cleaning system or spring for the VPI unit.
These systems make old records sound new and eliminate 99% of any surface noise.
Keep spinnin!

The Music Hall MMF 2.1 is an entry-level, belt-drive, audiophile turntable and is a good choice for those wanting to move up into audiophile equipment without breaking the bank. Completely manual, there's no auto-return when the record is finished, though there is a cue lever and a simple on/off switch. Without the bells and whistles of lower priced (and lower quality) turntables you're getting quality materials and craftsmanship, i.e. a good tonearm, body and motor and beefy connector cable with gold plugs. Belt drive allows isolation of the motor from the rest of the turntable. The red, high-gloss finish is beautiful.
The turntable arrived with the cartridge already installed and aligned (a check with the supplied alignment guide confirmed the stylus alignment was right on) and setup was a simple matter of attaching the belt to the platter. I would've given the MMF 2.1 five stars if it came with a 12" platter (it's 11.8") and the anti-skating didn't mess with the cuing. This table, combined with my NAD AV-716 receiver, has brought new life to my LP collection as I've heard things I never heard before.

I bought this deck a few years ago and at first I was really impressed with the sound quality, the cartridge, and the overall "bang for the buck". However, after a year,the sound quality started to diminish. I checked everything I could think of, until I lifted up the platter and found that the motor mount had snapped causing a vibration on the plinth.
It appears that music hall uses a really cheap motor mount made out of an elastic-like substance that degrades from the excess thermal energy produced by the motor. There is no "clean" way of fixing this either. Rubber bands do an insufficient job at balancing the motor completely level as well.
In summary, if you want an entry level turntable that is great for about a year and you rarely play records, then purchase this deck. If you only play lps look for something that is a bit sturdier in build.
Also, if you ever want to change the cartridge or disconnect it for whatever reason, be extremely careful that the thin wires do not break off. If you are handy with a soldering iron, you can always fix it, but still it is a pain.
On a side note, I fitted the music hall arm onto my old AR turntable and it plays beautifully.(I just love that hanging weight for the anti-skate)

My local electronics superstore has a small assortment of cheap plastic turntables for sale. The Music Hall MMF is a quantum leap beyond anything you will find in the isles of mass produced consumer electronics.
Perhaps the most significant aspect of this design is the relocation of the power supply to an external adapter. This means the transformer is not encased within the turntable but is in fact outside the unit altogether. Obviously, since transformers can make noise this has an audible affect on the quality of your sound. The other striking feature is the lack of any electronic wizardry. There are no buttons to start or stop the tonearm, and the turntable is not automatic, simply start the platter turning and use a small lever to hoist the tonearm onto the LP.
While I am altogether thrilled with my MMF-2.1, there are some awkward features worth noting. Getting the tonearm properly balanced with the correct amount of tracking was extremely tricky. Skating is controlled using a thin plastic fishing wire and the tonearm is counterbalanced using a weight that requires fine tuning before it will balance properly. While this might take you an hour or so, it was well worth the effort.
My other challange was changing the needle from the stock Grado. This was also particularly tricky to get mounted and lined up properly, it would have helped if the needle headshell could be easily removed. Fortunately, switching out your needle is a rare event and will require rebalancing in any case.
Highly recommended if you are in the market for an audiophile grade turntable and are willing to spend a little time to get yourself setup.

This is a nice turntable. Much better than the very cheap ($100ish) tables offered by the BigBox stores. A manual table requiring minimal set-up, the materials are of good quality and the time to assemble and adjust the table upon reciept was about 20 minutes.

I bought this turntable to convert a bunch of my old vinyl into digital files and CDs. I'd say it was only moderately successful, and not without a lot of trial and error. First of all, my local retailer had to open every box to make sure the turntable worked, he said there is a high failure rate. These tables are made in Eastern Europe. Mine worked, but I could not get the tracking right. I followed the instructions carefully, but it was still very light, and skipped easily. I took it back, and we used a tracking gauge, which showed we had to use a much higher force than indicated on the tracking dial on the tonearm. Even then, I would say the sound is good but not great, not as good as the Bang & Olufsen it replaced (I needed a manual table for recording). It's too bad there are no mid-price quality turntables anymore, just the $79 junkboxes and $500 and up audiophile equipment.

I looked at the mmf 2.1 at my local hiFi shop and It is ok for a $300 turntable and I might have bought it but they happened to have the Goldring GR 1.2 (Rega P2 with a Goldring electra cartridge)which normally costs $475 on sale for $300. After hearing the Goldring I could tell it was a far seperior product. The Goldring tracks better due to it's Rega RB250 tonearm and elektra cartridge which has an eliptical stylus as aposed to the conicle stylus on the elan cartridge that the mmf 2.1 includes. The Goldring also seemed to be made better (smoother motor and bearings,MDF platter that absorbs vibration).If your on a tight budget the mmf 2.1 is ok but if you have an extra $175 or you find a turntable like the Goldring GR 1.2 on sale you can get a much better turntable.
