My personal experience says to shy away from Music Hall products. I can't say anything about the performance of the higher priced models but my MMF 2 was an unpleasant surprise after all the hype it received. Yech! The other models I have looked at seem very cheaply made for the price. Rega's have following although I haven't heard one. Needle Doctor is selling a demo Dual 505-4 that is probably a well made piece. The SL1200 is a solid machine that many are satisfied with. The SOTA Moonbeam has its proponents as well. I maintain that anyone spending under $1000 for a turntable needs to be buying a used one. Either buy from a seller that has the original packing material or one that has sold a lot of turntables and knows how to pack the things.p.s. I don't know where you live but every city had a high end store or two. It might be worth the drive to go check one of these out in person.
