So you have your collection of vintage and new vinyls stacked in a milk crate on your shelf taking up valuable space that you could use for, oh, lets say...your T-Ball trophy from when you were 6 years old. The faces of Carole King and Hall & Oates stare at you, wishing you would get a damn record player that is worthy of sticking its needle in their fine vinyl grooves. Well keep your crate and throw away the trophy (really, what sad childhood glory-day memories are you trying to hold on to anyway?) cause here it is!
"This turntable makes the Gramophone seem so 1887."
The Ferrari red
Music Hall mmf-2.2le ($499) is a belt-driven vinyl merry-go-round of modern style. The moving magnet phono cartridge along with the one piece alloy tonearm gives you the rich sound that only vinyl can produce. It requires enough manual control that lets you feel more connected to the music you are playing. It has a two speed (33/45) belt pulley in which you manually switch the belt to achieve a different speed. The manual On/Off switch coupled with the manual tonearm is its only downfall...when the record has played, the tonearm stays scratching on the inner label...but as I previously stated, it's what makes you feel more connected and in control.
These turntables have a place in every room at the swanky-hipster
Ace Hotel in Palm Springs, CA (which I was tempted to swipe, but the previous tenants already did. Way to ruin it for the rest of us guys!)
