Music Hall Audio - MMF-5.3 Turntable with Ortofon 2M Blue Cartridge

MMF-5.3 Turntable

The music hall mmf-5.3 turntable is a 2-speed belt driven audiophile turntable employing the unique dual-plinth construction originated by music hall.

The distinctive design isolates the critical sound reproducing components; platter, main bearing, tonearm, and cartridge on the top platform from the motor, switch, wiring, and feet which are mounted on the bottom platform. Viso-elastic cones separate the two platforms and provide vibration damping. The mmf-5.3 comes complete with an Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge
