The Music Hall MMF-9.1 Turntable and Whest Audio Two Phono Stage are a perfect match! The MMF-9.1 is an award winning turntable with every thing you need: Turntable, Tonearm, Cartridge and Dustcover and the Whest Audio Two is simply a killer phono stage!

NEW & Improved for 2007!

NEW features Include:
• New one-piece carbon fiber tonearm
• Goldring Eroica LX low-output moving coil cartridge
• Gold-plated RCA phono sockets
• Higher grade phono cable
• Removable Dustcover

The new MMF-9.1 turntable is Music Hall's flagship model! The Music Hall MMF-9.1 is a 2-speed belt driven audiophile turntable with a unique three-plinth design using four Sorbothane springs between each plinth. This distinctive design isolates the critical sound reproducing components; platter, main bearing tonearm and cartridge on the top platform from the adjustable tip-toe feet, electronic speed control and wiring which are mounted on the bottom platform.

The motor is external and is isolated on its own vibration damping base and completely decoupled from the turntable. The motor features an electronic speed control that will run the motor at 50Hz instead of 60Hz. (A slower motor runs more quietly).

The acrylic platter is 1" (25mm) thick sitting on an incredibly quiet, inverted ceramic bearing. Sorbothane hemispheres separate each of the three plinths and provide additional vibration damping. The Music Hall MMF-9.1 features a carbon fiber version of the acclaimed Project 9.1 arm, the Project Carbon. The MMF-9.1 also has a Goldring Eroica LX low-output, moving coil cartridge.

Music Hall MMF-9 Features:
• Music Hall's unique triple-plinth construction
• One piece carbon fiber tonearm with flexible internal wire drawn from high purity copper
• Counterweight's center of gravity is level with the stylus tip is decoupled from the arm and acts as a resonance damper
• Completely isolated/decoupled electronic speed controlled (33/45rpm) 50Hz motor. The motor sits in the front left corner of the turntable thus eliminating all vibration from the belt to the cartridge
• Goldring Eroica LX ($500 value) low-output moving-coil cartridge with Gyger II line contact stylus. The cartridge supplied is properly aligned and mounted
• Inverted ceramic main bearing for super quiet fluid operation
• Non-resonant 1" thick acrylic platter
• High quality gold RCA connectors with detachable phono cable
• Adjustable tip-toe feet with anti-scratch cups
• Low noise fully manual belt-drive design
• Removable Dustcover, 45rpm adaptor, and spirit level
• Excellent instruction manual and easy assembly
• 1 year manufacturer warranty.

Product Reviews:
"The MMF-9.1 is a much better sounding turntable than the 9.." "The Music Hall MMF9.1 and Whest TWO...together comprised a $4000 phono system that was easy to love.." - Michael Fremer, Stereophile July, 2008.

"If you want a great table out of the box, buy an MMF-9..." - Jeff Dorgay, Tone Magazine issue 4, 2006, pg. 53 www.tonepublications.com

"There exists a point of diminishing returns and the Music Hall MMF-9 is at that exact point. You would need to spend a lot more money to get any significant improvement in sound quality. Strictly using a performance-to-price ratio this is a very good deal and for the majority of audiophiles the only turntable you will ever need." - Ron Nagle, stereotimes.com

2007 Best Value System Award Winner at the New York HiFi Show! The New & Improved version of the Stereophile Recommended Whest Audio PS.20 Phonostage! This is a killer phono stage!

Following in the same footsteps as the world acclaimed Whest Audio PS.20 phonostage, the Whest Audio Two Dual Mono Phonostage is THE new entry level benchmark phonostage! In fact, it's 95% of a PS.20 but at $1000 less than the original.

The Whest Audio Two is a dual mono design and it has internal dip switches that are adjustable for gain and cartridge loading which allows for both MC & MM cartridges. The Whest Audio Two's input stage also utilises ultra low noise circuitry and ultra low noise multi-regulation so that MC cartridges with extremely low output levels have no problems when connected.

With the whest Audio Two Dual Mono Phonostage you will hear much clearer mid and high frequencies and because the high frequency is extended ALL instruments down to basses and kick drums will sound much more realistic with better transient response and positioning within the soundstage. It is only now by using modern audiophile playback equipment that we can appreciate just how much information there is on vinyl.

The majority of modern phonostages are developments of circuits published by the IC chip manufacturers, which with the help of regulated supplies and expensive components, can achieve quite respectable results but generally suffer from image instability and solidity, resolution and no drive capability. IC chips are not capable of driving difficult loads, even an audiophile grade 1m interconnect is quite an obstacle; the maximum output current available from even the best IC chip being only about 50mA. This lack of current and headroom has a detrimental effect on speed, solidity, musical drive and soundstage accuracy.

Like the famed Whest Audio PS.20 PhonoStage, the whest Audio Two Dual Mono Phonostage uses output devices usually found in the driver stages of modern esoteric power amplifiers. Each of these driver transistors has a current capability of 3A, and in conjunction with a newly developed discrete circuit operating up to 30 MHz provides a combination of massive headroom and speed.

Because of the different needs of the various circuits involved in the whest Audio Two Dual Mono Phonostage a special power supply was needed. The transformer is a bespoke unit developed by Whest Audio Ltd and manufactured in the UK. The current capability of the WPSU is about 100 times what the whest Audio Two theoretically needs, the extra headroom being totally beneficial to audio reproduction.

All Whest Two units come with an Audiophile grade interconnect as well as a computer grade interconnect for transferring your LPs to your computer.

• Full Dual-Mono configuration.

Product Reviews:
"...yet another efficient, impeccable product from designer James Henriot." "...easily among the best sonic values available...an easy recommendation." "The Music Hall MMF9.1 and Whest TWO...together comprised a $4000 phono system that was easy to love.." - Michael Fremer, Stereophile July 2008.

"Whest Audio has added a special 50kHz zero on the RIAA curve to mimic the cutter head, and thereby allowing reproduction up to 50 kHz which exists on all LPs as their studies into cutter head electronics show. The input stage also utilizes ultra low noise circuitry and ultra low noise multi-regulation so that MC cartridges with extremely low output levels have no problems." - StereoMojo.com

"No matter what material fed the TWO, it positively lapped it up. ...Whest removing the velvet gloves to grip the rhythm with an iron fist. "highly recommended" - Adam Smith, HiFi World June 2008

"...excellent channel separation, giving a wide, clearly defined soundstage. Individual sound events are correctly contoured and powerfully drawn, and the imagery has exquisite richness of colour." - Helmut Rohrwild, HiFi and Records Magazine Feb. 2008
