The Music Hall MMF-7.3 is one of the top turntable models in the entire range of the company's products and impresses with its overall construction. Indeed, the Music Hall MMF 7.3 Turntable is a premium record player designed for serious audiophiles. It features a high-end build quality, exceptional sound quality, and a range of advanced features that make it one of the best turntables on the market. In this review, we will take a closer look at the Music Hall MMF 7.3 Turntable to see how it performs in terms of sound quality, build quality, features, and more.

Features

One of the top Music Hall Audio turntables, the MMF 7.3 is a manual turntable that requires you to start and top the turntable yourself. This can be a good thing as it allows you to have complete control over the entire listening processes. This means you can have the ability to control the force that the tonearm exerts onto the vinyl record itself. This is perhaps a safety measure to ensure that the machine does not malfunction and accidentally create damage on the turntable. The above-mentioned issue is a pretty common issue that troubles the automatic turntables.

The Music Hall MMF 7.3 has a two-speed (33 and 45rpm) playing choice as well as a belt driven motor that helps to bring out the best out of the turntable itself. With the cartridge provided to you, all you need to do is to put in the record, move the tonearm and you will soon hear a warm, deep and beautiful sound that will resonate throughout the space that you are in.

In order for a smoother listening experience, you will expect that the platter is heavy. While it is true that the patter itself is heavy, the MMF 7.3 uses a dual plinth design that has 3 adjustable feet that helps to damp any vibrations that can be the result of the records that you are playing. It is unique in the sense that there are four Sorbothane hemispheres that separate the top and bottom layer. The Sorbothane hemispheres help to soften any remnant vibration that might penetrate, hence the top layer will receive close to zero vibration energy. This will help in the production of sound.

* Sorbothane is a polyurethane material with exceptional shock and vibration damping properties. It is often used in applications where the reduction of vibrations and impact is required, such as in the construction of turntables, athletic shoes, medical equipment, and industrial applications.

The tonearm is made of carbon fibre. The material ensures that the tracking of the tonearm, as well as the stylus, is astute. The tracking arc is very shallow due to the length of the tonearm, and all of these helps to reduce distortion of sound.

Sound Quality

When we tried the Music Hall MMF 7.3, we were amazed at how it could deliver such a warm and rich sound. This wonderful sound was also thanks to the Ortofon Bronze cartridge, with the high frequencies being wonderfully rendered with clear notes hanging in the air, while the lows filled the room with depth and quality. We paired the turntable with the Focal Sopra No1 speakers, listening to jazz, opera, and classical music, and the overall performance of the sound was more than exceptional!

Aesthetics (material)

The Music Hall MMF 7.3 Turntable has a beautiful aesthetic design that combines both modern and classic elements. The plinth has a real wood veneer finish that gives it a timeless and elegant appearance. The turntable also features a clear acrylic platter that not only looks great but also provides smooth and stable rotation.

The tonearm is sleek and minimalist, made from lightweight carbon fiber. The high-quality finish of the tonearm gives it a modern and sophisticated look, while also ensuring that it is durable and resistant to wear and tear.

In addition, the turntable includes a dust cover that is both functional and stylish. The cover is made from high-quality materials and provides protection for the turntable while also adding to its aesthetic appeal.

Overall, the Music Hall MMF 7.3 Turntable is a beautiful and well-crafted piece of audio equipment that will look great in any home or listening room. Its elegant design and attention to detail make it not only a high-performance turntable but also a statement piece that is sure to impress.
