Features
2-Speed Control: A built-in speed control circuit ensures the accuracy of the Music Hall Classic turntable's two speeds (33-1/3 and 45 RPM). A 45 RMP adapter is included. The turntable's electronic speed control regulates the belt-drive motor for precise speed and optimum sound quality.
Music Hall Spirit MM Cartridge: A quality Music Hall Spirit moving magnet (MM) cartridge is included (requires mounting and alignment). Developed and built specially for Music Hall by Audio Technica, the Spirit MM catridge incorporates a low-mass cantilever and an elliptical stylus tip.
Semi-Automatic Operation: At the end of the record the Classic turntable automatically lifts the tonearm and turns off the power (you will still need to manually return the tonearm to its rest). You will also still need to manually place the tonearm on your record to begin playback.
Vibration Damping: The Music Hall Classic turntable comes with an aluminum platter and a felt mat to help dampen ambient vibration. The belt comes pre-mounted to the platter, making setup easier and quicker. The Classic also features a MDF Plinth and adjustable vibration damping feet to prevent unwanted resonance. The MDF plinth features a walnut wood veneer finish.
Built-in Switchable Preamp: A built-in phono preamplifier allows connection of the turntable to an AV receiver, integrated amplifier, or powered speakers that do not have a dedicated phono input. The built-in phono preamp can be turned off when using an AV receiver or integrated amp with a phono input (MM).
Stereo RCA Output: The Music Hall Classic is outfitted with a stereo RCA output and comes with a 5' stereo RCA cable to connect the turntable to your AV receiver, integrated amplifier, or powered speakers.
Dust Cover: The Music Hall Classic comes supplied with a dust cover to prevent dust build-up on the turntable.
AC Power Adapter: The Music Hall Classic comes with an external AC power adapter that plugs into the back of the turntable and into an AC wall outlet or surge protector (sold separately - see Accessories Tab).

It's a really well built turntable with a classic look and it sounds great. The auto lift function works but you have to wait for several rotations. The cartridge sounds good but I will probably upgrade down the road.
