The first was to find a reasonably priced turntable to review. Music Hall phono cartridges deliver exceptional performance and quality. This review originally appeared in Sound+Image magazine, one of What Hi-Fi? Check out the Music Hall MMF-1. Andrew Robinson from Home Theater Review took the semi-automatic Classic for a spin and was mightily impressed. 20Hz~20KHz: +1/-3 dB. 5 has the 'S' shaped tonearm, which is more desirable than the straight tonearm on the 1. That's not at all absurd given the Classic's demonstrated potential, but admittedly, I had this stuff laying around and didn't dig into my pocket to buy it. Nothing if you can afford it. But also, the most expensive cartridge on this list.
I planned on getting the Music Hall MMF-1. That said, I'd pay a little more and get their next-tier model. Any enhancement of the music tells me that the turntable is just adding a coloration by running slightly off speed or by having poor isolation, which may make the music sound lively or rich. After all, a great turntable isn't going to sound so great if it's plugged into a subpar phono stage. The VM540ML is a balanced and very good sounding cartridge that can transform the sound of your turntable.
The second was to be able to play the 78 rpm records that I inherited a number of years ago. Your Technics SL-PG100 CD player was very well regarded in its day, and if you compare it to modern CD players you will find the SL-PG100 has a larger, more detailed display, more front-panel buttons and extra playback features. Another Music Hall achievement is that, despite the eminently reasonable price-tag ($399, AU$699 - the Australian price maintained unchanged during the recent distribution change to Indi Imports), the mmf-1. And it's very, very good. There was not much record surface noise, which I normally would expect with such an inexpensive turntable. We'll also help you figure out whether it is the right model for you, or if the next one up would be better. By contrast, the controls for 33 and 45 are expensive-feeling touch sensitive, metal buttons, not toggles or switches.
Now I want to get a turntable and upgrade my CD player, which is an old Technics SL-PG100 from the 1990s. Music Hall's unique dual-plinth design – isolating the electronics and motor from the main bearing and tonearm. Qualifies for free shipping. Later you can buy a better phono cartridge if you want to improve the sound of your records. Quantities are limited and when we have them, they sell out fast. I chose the VM540ML when I upgraded my Audio-Technica AT-LP120. It also didn't insult partnering equipment costing many times its price. I tried the CFN3600LE on the Melody and the stylus upgrade provides a more precise, nuanced and detailed musical presentation while retaining the stock cartridge's sweetness. It looks an awful lot like a U-turn except in the case of the Music Hall, the belt is not on top of the chassis (thank goodness: I think that is just silly). Belt-drive, electronic speed controlled motor. Sounds smooth is silk but still highly engaging. High quality gold RCA connectors with detachable phono cable. These 2 units may look similar, but if you look closer, there are many differences.
How often should I upgrade my cartridge? 5 is much better for only $100 more, the MMF-1. 5 g (including headshell 15~18. 5, with its superior s-shaped alloy tonearm, music hall melody cartridge, 3-speed belt drive design, and built-in phono pre-amp, is a beautifully refined piece. Great Neck, NY 11023. Electronic speed controlled DC motor for superior speed stability, isolated on lower plinth. 25 dB or less at 1KHz. I've said it before, but the best way to enjoy digital audio is never listen to a well recorded LP on a decent turntable.
MC cartridges, on the other hand, don't come with the option to easily replace the stylus. 5 has an aluminum platter instead of the steel platter typically found on budget turntables. These are colorations that really mean your turntable is not functioning as it should. I do not want to spend more money on a turntable that may not be as enjoyable. I inquired with a couple of online sources with questions and immediately replied.

I was notified that my 78 stylus was delivered; however, it was not in my PO Box. LP on the street a few years ago I played it once or twice and filed it away. It's a little gritty in operation, but the action is very smoothly damped, unlike the much more expensive Technics. S/N ratio Typical: More than 65dB (DIN-B) (SS-4242).
Everything worked well straight out of the box. The edge of the platter is polished to a shiny chrome look, which adds additional shine to an already shiny unit. All Music Hall turntables come fitted with arms, cartridges and dust covers. Which means that you don't have to replace the whole cartridge. 5 is a belt-drive design that plays 33.
On this note, when playing 78 rpm records, it was a pain having to change the record after only about 3 to 4 minutes of music.

Or a friend that can loan them to you. While I am a huge fan of the piano finish, it is a magnet for scratches and fingerprints. And easy to assemble.
First of all, the MMF-1. The needle/stylus last about 1000 hours before it should be replaced. 5 doesn't present as an entry-level turntable. As much as I love the MMF-1. Why upgrade turntable cartridge?
Both sounded great, but the Quebec disc felt more musically, hot-blooded authentic, while "Codona 3" sounded more coolly modern and transparent.

None of these are really significant knocks though. I hear the potential in the turntable. I fully expected to give it a cursory listen and move on, but I'm impressed.
If you would have told me when I was unboxing it that it cost $600, not only would I have believed you, I would have been impressed they could sell it for that given the pricing of the competition. My publisher did tell me the quality of 78 rpm were not up to the standards of most people that regularly play records.
