I just ordered a Music Hall 5.1SE turntable and I was wondering if anyone has or had this turntable and could give me some feed back on how this sounds. It was sold out and I have to wait 2 weeks for it to come in.

    Don't have one but the fact that its popular is surely a good sign.

    For the price it is hard to beat this piece of equipment! This table will handle your vinyl nicely! Good choice!

    I am also considering a Music Hall 5.1 SE with a Mojo cartridge for about 1095 at Audio Advisor. Also looking at a Rega RP3 with a Elys 2 cartridge. Both have a tone arm clamp, dust cover and include a rca cable (would upgrade this). Both are priced at 1095 with cartridge. It has been years since I owned a tt and really have little (retainable) knowledge of what makes one better that the other. Anyone know what some of the key features would be that make either one better than the other? Both get good reviews, both look very good as far as quality is concerned. Any comments, appreciated.

    I have the MH 2.2LE and while it is a nice table the 5.1SE is better and I wish I would have started more at that point then the 2.2.

    The other table around that price point that I really like is the VPI Traveler. Very impressed with that table so far from the listening I got at the dealer I heard the table at. It is above the price of the 5.1SE however I do like the table better overall.

    I'll check out the VPI. I am leaning toward the MH 5.1. That price with a MOJO cartridge is hard to beat. Have only seen that price on Audio Advisor so it bears more shopping around to see if their's is the best I can do. Thanks for your comment.
