Music Hall Classic Turntable, w/ Built-In Phonostage

 

“The biggest takeaway, for me, about the Classic’s performance was that I kept wanting to listen to it. It’s ease-of-use, pleasant, non-judgmental sound, and automatic feature set quickly made it my go-to turntable despite having other, higher-end options available to me. You’ll need to probably spend three times as much on a pre-configured table to make upgrading over the Classic truly worth it.”

— ANDREW ROBINSON, HOMETHEATERREVIEW.COM

 

“I noticed the solidity of the bass line. It wasn’t overpowering or boomy, but it had a heft I haven’t heard with many other turntables. As plug’n’play as a ’table can be, the Classic is a must-audition. It’s a delight to use, and its included Music Hall Spirit cartridge extracts maximum information from the groove.”
