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.

I noticed the solidity of the bass line. It wasnt overpowering or boomy, but it had a heft I havent heard with many other turntables. As plugnplay as a table can be, the Classic is a must-audition. Its a delight to use, and its included Music Hall Spirit cartridge extracts maximum information from the groove.
