Music Hall MMF-2.3
Hi-fi turntables · 2010–present In production
£449 UK RRP
The long-serving heart of the Music Hall range, built in the Czech Republic: a pure manual audiophile deck with a factory-fitted MM cartridge.
Model history: The MMF-2.3 succeeds the MMF-2.2, adding a pre-mounted carbon-fiber tonearm, a factory-fitted Music Hall Spirit MM cartridge, and a separately isolated DC synchronous motor in place of the 2.2's earlier drive setup.

Who it suits
Best suited to: a first serious turntable for an existing or planned amp-and-speakers setup. Less ideal for: plugging straight into passive speakers with no amp — check the built-in phono stage row above, and note most hi-fi decks still need external amplification.
Compatibility and setup
- Manual operation: you cue and lift the tonearm by hand at the start and end of each side — there’s no auto-return or auto-lift.
Good to know
- No built-in phono stage — use an amplifier with a phono input or add a separate phono preamplifier.
