mmf 5.1
The music hall mmf 5.1 turntable is a two speed belt driven
audiophile turntable employing the unique dual plinth construction
originated by music hall. The distinctive design isolates
the critical sound reproducing components; platter, main
bearing, tonearm, and cartridge on the top platform from
the motor, switch, wiring, and feet which are mounted on
the bottom platform. Viso elastic cones separate the two
platforms and provide vibration damping. The mmf-5.1 comes
complete with music hall magic 3 cartridge mounted. The
magic 3 is specially built by Ortofon for music hall.

vp 130
The vp 130 is a tube phono preamp with a built in
headphone amplifier for use with moving magnet and high output
moving coil cartridges. The vp 130 is designed to amplify an RIAA
equalized phono signal to a hi level signal. Since the unit utilizes
tube circuitry the resulting output signal is more warm and musical
than solid state preamplifiers. The real kicker aside from the
price and stellar sound is that it's manufactured in the US.
"The Bellari seemed to create a sound that was rich natural
and appealing. Surface noise was low, and the music emerged from
a crisp quiet background. It was an excellent sound by almost
any standards; one I was very happy to listen to. The bane of
cheap vinyl reproduction is excessive brightness/harshness. The
Bellari sounded focussed and articulate, but rich and warm too
- with an attractively full bass and sweet open mid-band."
