The Music Hall MMF 5.3 turntable features a sleek, minimalist design that aligns with the quality expected from audiophile-grade equipment. It comes with a dust cover and a spindle attachment for playing records at 45 rpm. A notable aspect of this LP player is its dual-layer chassis, which consists of two fiberboard panels separated by conical shock-absorbing inserts.
The upper panel houses the support bearing for the disc and the tonearm, while the synchronous AC motor and other electrical components are located on the lower panel. This design effectively minimizes vibrations that could negatively impact sound quality. The panels are available in a choice of black or white piano lacquer, enhancing the turntable’s aesthetic appeal while also providing additional damping.
The Music Hall MMF 5.3 features two manual disc rotation speeds, adjustable by repositioning the drive belt on rollers of varying diameters located on the motor pulley. Its support bearing, crafted from high-quality steel with precision, is housed in a Teflon cup. This, combined with specialized lubrication, guarantees smooth and stable disc movement without vibrations.
The support platter, made from a unique alloy, is dynamically balanced to enhance rotational uniformity. Additionally, the LP player includes a felt mat for the support platter, a record clamp with screw fixation, and a bubble level on the top panel for accurate horizontal alignment.
