Brand new (outer box opened). The Music Hall Classic is a two-speed, semi-automatic belt-drive turntable that combines a retro-inspired dark walnut wood veneer aesthetic with a thoroughly modern and practical feature set. It comes factory-mounted with the Music Hall Spirit moving magnet cartridge — precision-aligned at the factory — and includes a built-in switchable phono preamplifier, allowing it to connect directly to any line-level input without requiring a separate phono stage. For those who prefer their own external phono preamp, the built-in stage can simply be bypassed.
The 305mm aluminum die-cast platter sits on a belt-driven DC motor with touch-sensitive electronic speed controls for seamless 33⅓ and 45 RPM selection. The uni-pivot tonearm features a removable headshell for easy cartridge swapping, a precision counterweight alignment line, and full adjustability for tracking force and anti-skate. Semi-automatic operation handles the heavy lifting — the tonearm automatically lifts and the unit shuts off at the end of each side, preventing unnecessary stylus and record wear. Adjustable vibration-damping feet help isolate the plinth from external interference, and a dust cover is included.
