Pre-Mounted 9-Inch Carbon Fiber Tonearm, Preinstalled Ortofon 2M Blue Cartridge, and Dual-Plinth Design Elevate the Music Hall MMF-5.3 Turntable

Dedicated to making analog components even during the years when vinyl took a backseat to other formats, Music Hall's expertise shows in the high-end performance and build quality of the MMF-5.3 turntable. Featuring a correctly calibrated and preinstalled Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge (a $236 value), this two-speed belt-driven ‘table is simple to set up and an absolute breeze to operate.

You'll be spinning records within just a few minutes of unboxing it. That's because MMF-5.3 also comes with a pre-mounted, 9-inch metal-alloy tonearm complete with flexible internal wire as well as a separately isolated DC synchronous motor. In other words, MMF-5.3 takes care of all the important details for you with high-grade components that concentrate on audiophile-quality music reproduction.

A dual-plinth design, MMF-5.3 is built with its platter, main bearing, tonearm, and cartridge located on the top platform and cleverly isolated from the motor, switch, wiring, and feet – all mounted on the bottom platform. Viso-elastic cones separate the two platforms and supply additional damping from harmful vibrations. A stainless-steel main bearing sheathed in Teflon, dynamically balanced alloy platter with a soft-felt mat, record clamp, adjustable vibration-damping feet, built-in spirit level, dust cover, and 45RPM adapter further enhance the stunning performance and incredible versatility afforded by MMF-5.3.

The gorgeous, high-gloss lacquer finish is the proverbial icing on the cake. What matters most, however, is the sound. And you'll love what you hear. Satisfaction Guaranteed.

(Note: MMF-5.3 in Walnut comes with a preinstalled Ortofon 2M Bronze cartridge, a $440 value.)
