About the Music Hall MMF-2.3WH
Audiophile sound that won't break the bank
Audiophile sound that won't break the bank
If you're a music lover who has yet to take the vinyl plunge, Music Hall's easy-to-use MMF-2.3 makes a great place to start. That's because Music Hall engineered this turntable to deliver outstanding value and performance that goes far beyond its price point. The MMF-2.3's minimalist design focuses directly on the critical components that benefit sound quality — the main bearing, motor, and tonearm. But that doesn't mean this beauty looks stripped-down. Music Hall also gave it a clean, streamlined appearance with an elegant high-gloss lacquer finish.
