"This is my new favorite turntable under $400, and Music Hall is to be commended
for bringing it to the market for such a reasonable price. If it performed just
the same and said Rega or VPI on the box, it would likely cost over $1,000 and
would still sell!"1

MUSIC HALL MMF-1.5 TURNTABLE
From the first music note to the final fade-out, the Music Hall MMF1.5 sets your world to groove. The quick and easy to assemble MMF-1.5 is going to make a lot of newcomers to LPs and those upgrading their starter turntables very, very happy. Given the fine finish of the plinth, tonearm and platter, built-in speed control and regulation and excellent performance, the MMF-1.5 comes across as a $600 or $800 turntable that is being sold for only $395, and they are throwing in a starter cartridge to boot.
The images used in advertising don't come remotely close to doing this turntable justice, more than any product in recent or even distant memory. The plinth, platter and tonearm are all quite impressive when you see and touch them.2
