MUSIC HALL MMF 7.3 SE Walnut

Price referred to the product on display in walnut with some imperfections

The Music Hall mmf-7.3se turntable stands out as a true gem of audio engineering, combining refined aesthetics with cutting-edge technical solutions. Its elegant walnut veneer enhances its visual presence, but it’s the dual-plinth construction that truly sets it apart: the key sound reproduction components — such as the platter, main bearing, tonearm, and cartridge — are isolated on the upper platform, completely separated from the height-adjustable feet mounted on the lower platform. The motor, speed control, and wiring are housed on a third dedicated base, fully decoupled from the rest of the structure to avoid any mechanical interference. Sorbothane hemispheres connect the two main platforms, providing effective suspension and additional damping of unwanted vibrations thanks to the material’s exceptional vibration-absorbing properties.

Every detail is carefully designed to deliver flawless sonic performance. The one-piece carbon fiber tonearm ensures precise tracking, while the counterweight, positioned with its center of gravity aligned with the stylus tip, acts as a resonance damper. Users can make precise adjustments to critical parameters such as VTA (vertical tracking angle), azimuth, and stylus descent, thanks to a dampened lift mechanism. Completing the setup is the Ortofon 2M Bronze cartridge, equipped with a nude fine line stylus that delivers extremely detailed and natural sound reproduction.

The non-resonant acrylic platter comes with a soft felt mat and a metal screw-on clamp that holds the record firmly in place during playback. The high-precision stainless steel main bearing is coated in Teflon for smooth and silent operation. The fully manual belt-drive system further reduces mechanical noise, while the adjustable tip-toe feet with anti-scratch bases allow for optimal leveling, aided by the built-in round spirit level. A dust cover and 45rpm adapter are also included, emphasizing attention to detail and user convenience.
