"The Music Hall mmf-9.1 is their flagship model in a line of six tables, ranging from the 22 through the 5, 7 and 9 series The 91 is an upgrade from the previous 90 and is a 2-speed, belt-driven table designed using a very unique triple-plinth construction Four Sorbothane hemispherical inserts to help isolate the table from external vibrations and serve as a quasi-suspension separate each of the three levels of the plinth Even the very glossy piano-black lacquered finish is claimed to have vibration absorbing qualities Vibration, either internal or external, is, of course the bane of any turntable since a stylus vibrating in accordance to the grooves in the LP, so any spurious tremors have a deleterious effect on the music produces the sound It is obvious that much attention has been paid toward minimizing interference"

"While I have not auditioned every table in the $2,000 price range, I would have to agree with Roy that there are not many complete packages, if any, that offer the level of value for the money as the Music Hall 91 If you look at the numbers, you get an $800 tonearm, a $750 moving coil cartridge and a $250 dustcover Those three pieces alone come to $1,800 retail The whole table package sells for $2,000 In effect, you are getting the table itself for $200 A table which, in the opinion of Linda and myself, with its gorgeous piano-black lacquered finish, looks more expensive than its $2,000 cost Weighing 40 lbs, you know you’re not getting a toy The table is available without the cartridge for $200 less

One criterion I use in establishing recommendations is, would I recommend it to a friend or family member? In this case, I have Would I buy it myself? If I were looking for a table at this level and in this price range, absolutely Music Hall is a long established company with an excellent reputation, so purchasing one of their products would not be an exercise in apprehension or worry"

NEW MODEL! MMF 11 - $3995.00 - Flagship Model
 
 
The music hall mmf-11 turntable, their new flagship model, is a 2-speed belt driven audiophile turntable featuring the unique quadruple-plinth construction originated by music hall. The distinctive design isolates the critical sound reproducing components; platter, main bearing, tone arm, and cartridge on the top platform from the adjustable magnetic-levitation feet, microprocessor speed control, motors, flywheel, and wiring which are mounted to the bottom plinth. The motors, flywheel, and speed control are further isolated on their own vibration damped dual-plinth platform which is isolated from the upper three main plinths. Sorbothane hemispheres separate each of the three main plinths and provide additional vibration damping. The bottom plinth operates as a mass-loaded resonant sink for the entire turntable. Two motors and a flywheel are used to increase torque and speed stability. The mmf-11 comes in a high-gloss piano black lacquer finish and ships without cartridge. A large encapsulating acrylic dustcover is included.
