Experience Crystal Clear Sound with Music Hall mmf-1.5 Turntable Built-in Phono Preamp S-Shaped Aluminum Tonearm Removable Headshell Low Noise Belt-Drive Design Quick and Easy to Assemble

Excellent tt it was between this and the Uturn. So glad I went with this. The cue lever option on the U turn orbit looks cheap. Everything on this turntable is very good quality. One of the things I like is the ability to tweak the platter speed with a dial on the back even though I haven't had to use it. The speed was a perfect 33.3 right out of the box . I don't recommend the built in preamp. It's fine to get you started but an external preamp like the DJ Pre II can be had very cheap and will make a huge difference. Cartridge replacement is super easy so upgrading the cartridge down the road will keep anyone happy without feeling the need to upgrade to a better turntable. This has to be the best tt under $500 on the market.

I upgraded from a Numark TT-100 table and wanted a table with an s-shaped tone arm for easy cartridge and headshell swaps. I was torn between this and the Teac TN-400s, but the Music Hall had much better wow and flutter, and signal to noise ratio specs. The pictures don't do this justice, it's a beautiful looking table. I can't comment on the built in phono pre-amp or the Music Hall Melody cartridge (using a Grado Black), but I was extremely happy with the clarity of sound compared to the TT-100 (especially at higher volume). As stock, the table measured at 33.2 rpms and there is a adjustable speed control on the back to true this up. In my opinion, this is a fine turntable for the money.

I tried many different RCA cables and ground mass but hum sound didn’t go away. Maybe I return it.

This was a birthday gift from my husband and family. It literally is the best thing to happen to our family in a long time. Music quality through our Sonos system is amazing. I am in love. Set up was simple (my husband did it...) But no issues at all. He did buy a better quality line into the sonos than some you can get. Spend the extra on that was his suggestion. This player is legit. I am sure there are better systems out there - but for us - this is doing an A+ job!

This turntable is quiet and does the job or spinning a vinyl record and reproducing what is picked up by the cartridge at phono level or line level to an amplifier. It looks decent and feet absorb most of the floor thuds.Here are the things you need to pay attention to and spend money fixing:Setting the tracking force requires a bit of work. The accompanying manual suggests use of the counterweight on the T mark - this results in way too much force. When you do it manually, you will find the counterweight ends up further back from the T mark. Ideally, you should check the tracking force with a track force meter (Price range $11-130)The included conical stylus is very basic and you will need to change it for an elliptical stylus at a minimum. If not a better cartridge. (Price range $40 - several hundreds)The factory setting on the cartridge is supposed to provide good alignment but if you notice inner track distortion - better cartridge alignment with a protractor will be necessary ($15-30)There is a speed adjustment knob. because the speed of the platter may not be accurate. To make accurate speed adjustment, you will need a disc mat stroboscope or a strobe light (Price range 15-130)The Music Hall MMF 1.5 is a good starter turntable to start spending on a hobby. And when you are hooked, it will make you turn your sights to the more expensive pieces out there, some in excess of 30K!PS: The turntable speed is definitely off out of the box (34.5 RPM when I checked - crosschecked with multiple smartphone apps). For approximate speed correction, a smartphone app will do but for more accurate correction, use a stroboscope mat or disc with a lamp using an incandescent or halogen bulb.

Very well built and sturdy. Great arm. Music hall cartridge sounds good.I can't get used to fully manual turntables at that price level. 20+ years ago (before CDs) most ALL turntables were fully automatic at any price range, even the cheap ones.This one doesn't even stop when record is through. Very dangerous for me falling aslep and finding it next day turning with stylus wearing out on the record. Maybe it's me, just doedn't seem right.

Let's make it simple. It comes from China. 😢

Superb quality for the price!!! I did upgrade the cartridge to an Ortofon Blue. I replaced a new Denon 400 (twice the price) with this one! 10 times the quality than the Denon!! Plus it has that old-time look to it and you can adjust the speed!!!
