"The MMF 9.1 is a much better-sounding turntable than the 9, entirely thanks to the improved tonearm." – Michael Fremer, Stereophile, July 2008
The new MMF-9.1 turntable is a 2-speed belt driven audiophile turntable employing the unique triple-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 tip-toe feet, electronic speed control, and wiring which are mounted on the bottom platform. The motor is isolated on its own vibration damping base and completely decoupled from the turntable. Sorbothane hemispheres separate each of the three plinths and provide additional vibration damping. The MMF-9.1 comes in a high-gloss piano black lacquer finish.
"If you want a great table out of the box, buy an MMF-9." – Jeff Dorgay, Tone Magazine, 2006
