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.
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 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.
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)
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.
