Can someone please explain the appeal of these new bare bones overprices turntables? I’ve owned 2 to flip and I don’t get it. They are very cheaply made in China and very fragile. I bought a pro-ject debut carbon with the carbon fiber tone arm and $200 rca cables that everyone seems to need to...

So I found a Music Hall MMF 5 table at the thrift for a decent price. It had no power cable. I got one off of Amazon that I thought would work, but it doesn't. I'm thinking that that's because the cable I got uses DC power. I found out that I need AC power, but some of the OEM cables cost $40+...

So I picked up a Music Hall MMF 7.1 today and wanted to compare it to my 2mBlue on my Project Debut 3.I notice the Mojo,while it sounds great don't have the dynamics(loudness) of my Ortofon.Am I missing something about the Mojo or is that the way it is.

Hey! I bought a used Music Hall Dac 25.2 a few months ago. It was functioning fine, although I always heard strange noise on the headphones right channel when I was turning it off (headphones are 250ohm). Anyway, I was never paying attention to it, since it didn't damage headphone speakers...

MMF-2-subplatter-spindle by Otto Mann posted Jul 11, 2020 at 10:22 AMHi all -- newbie here. I have a Music Hall MMF 2 (tag reads MMF 2, not MMF 2.1, 2.2, etc.) The belt was just slipping. Discovered the subplatter would not turn without notable effort. Removed subplatter and spindle (see pic). I...

Hi, Newbie to Turntables and trying to decide what to buy. Should I get a used original SOTA Comet recently serviced with a Ortofon Red or a Used Music Hall MMF5 with a stock Goldring or a New Rega P1? I will be buying the affordable Schiit Phono or something similar for now, I plan to...

Hello everybody. This is my first post. Does anybody own MH Ikura turntable and what is your opinion? I have a chance to buy it for under $700. Which TT would you compare it to? I've read few mostly positive reviews, but I am more interested in real owner experience. Thank you.

Update - Just added Diffusers on back wall...Photos added. I moved & downsized last year and had a new room built. I have been working on it slowly, and am coming close to completion...for now, this is the line-up: The new Outlaw Audio R2160 receiver (Thanks to Walter & the guys at Underwood...

Hey All, Long time lurker - first time poster. I've had an Realistic STA-2000 in storage for years - it belonged to by grandfather. My brief perusal of the forums leads me to think this should be a decent receiver - maybe not Sansui or Marantz good - but decent. Its 75 WPC. My Fiance had it...

Hello everyone! I recently picked up this amplifier to give it a go to repair it. I used to play around with audio equipment and I figured this would be a good return! I am certainly not an expert but hopefully I'll learn a thing or two on the way. Anyways, the amplifier turns on but it starts...

OK, guys I'm a bit perplexed here. I bought this 1982 model NAD last year from a nice local guy here on AK. Really great sound! Full-bodied and rich, especially now that I have upgraded a few other aspects of my system. I also bought an almost new Music Hall amp here for a good price. Clean...

While most of the time folks talk about the converter chip itself used in a DAC, I find that much of the sound quality you actually hear is due to the analog output stage. Which is just another line stage in the pipeline. Op amp chips are clearly very cost effective with even the most...

Did a basic search and didn't see anything obvious but my beloved CD25.2 is starting to randomly skip and stutter on most CDs (typically occurs 2-3 times per CD and is growing worse). I've tried the cd with brushes, manual cleaning with contact cleaner but neither seemed to help. I've modded...

Hey folks, I have a Music Hall MMF 2.2. Love the way it plays and sounds, but I've always had issues with the hinges on the dustcover being exceptionally tight. It makes it difficult to open the lid. Sometimes it just gets stuck and I have to hold the plinth while I open with my other hand. I'm...

Seeking suggestions for speakers to go with my Fisher 800-B and Music Hall mmf 2.2 le. Currently running Phase Technology PC 100s, which don't make for a perfect marriage, sonically or aesthetically.

I'm pretty new at this and am purchasing my first TT. I think I've narrowed it down to the Rega Planar 3 and the Music Hall MMF 5.3. I've heard the Planar 3, but not the MMF 5.3 (can't find a local place that carries it). Do folks have thoughts on the direct comparison of the 2? I'm...

Hello all - looking for any input on my current decision. I'm running an original MMF-7 w Grado Sonata right now and have been thinking that would be my rig until I got together the funds for a VPI Classic. But I've also been feeling lately like this tt is the weak link in my chain... and in my...

hey gang Building a starter system for the first time in years. My current components are: Rega RP1 turntable PSB Imagine X2T speakers Mass Fidelity Relay Bluetooth DAC I listen to a variety of music through vinyl, laptop direct and bluetooth, so I need a versatile amp with a good phono...

hello all, I recently purchased a Music Hall Maverick CD player from audiogon. I have to admit, I was seduced by the looks as much as the sound. It is a nice sounding player, but it looks even better when sitting next to some nice silver vintage equipment. Unfortunately, I bought the first...

Snagged a Music Hall MMF 5.1 with the Magic 3 cartridge...only $400! In pretty great condition, but missing a few minor items: cartridge alignment tool, allen key for VTA, the belt changing tool, and the stock interconnect cables. It also didn't come with the orig box. I can easily replace...
