These days, the $1000–$1500 price range is a Wild West of turntables, with manufacturers from Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab and Pro-Ject to Thorens and Clearaudio in the race to win from consumers the coveted award for Best Turntable for Under $2000. If I were of a mind to spend my C-notes on a turntable in this price range, the Music Hall MMF-7.3 would be at the top of my money-grubbing list. Though the MMF-7.3 was very fussy about what it sat on, and demanded a very good cartridge before it would coquettishly reveal its true demeanor, its spirited personality and resolving nature made old records new again. And that left me gobsmacked.
