High-End Sound Without the Hassle: Music Hall MMF-7.3 Turntable Features Isolated DC Motor with Speed Controls, Pre-Mounted Carbon Fiber Tonearm for Plug-and-Play Ease

The Stereophile Class B Recommended Music Hall MMF-7.3 turntable is designed to give analog enthusiasts and vinyl newcomers more time to spin records by eliminating the hassle associated with setup, measurements, and installation. Unlike most high-end turntables, the plug-and-play MMF-7.3 with the optional preinstalled Ortofon 2M Bronze cartridge (a $440 value) leaves the factory ready to provide you with engaging sound all the while giving you the advantages of adjustable VTA and azimuth. 

In a practical sense, the 24-pound MMF-7.3 does all the work for you. A pre-mounted carbon-fiber tonearm with flexible wire and built-in spirit level mean all you need to do is place MMF-7.3 on its playing surface and you're in business. And just because MMF-7.3 comes ready to go out of the box doesn't mean that it skimps on what matters most: performance. The opposite is true. Everything revolves around its smart engineering and high-quality materials. 

This two-speed, dual-plinth ‘table's critical components – platter, main bearing, tonearm, cartridge – are isolated on the top platform and away from the adjustable tip-toe feet on the bottom platter. Meanwhile, a DC motor with 33RPM and 45RPM speed controls resides on its own platform, completely decoupled from the turntable, for outstanding vibration control. Additional damping and suspension is provided by sorbothane hemispheres, which separate the two platforms. A high-precision stainless-steel main bearing sheathed in Teflon for low-noise operation, non-resonant acrylic platter, and gold-plated connectors further ensure an audiophile pedigree. MMF-7.3 also comes with a record clamp, felt mat, dust cover, and 45RPM adapter.

If you want great sound, low fuss, and sharp looks, the belt-driven MMF-7.3 is at the ready and backed by our Satisfaction Guarantee. 

“If I were of a mind to spend my C-notes on a turntable in this price range, the Music Hall MMF-7.3 would be at the top of my money-grubbing list.”
