MoFi MasterDeck fitted with UltraGold MC Cartridge
Unveiling the pinnacle of vinyl reproduction
The MasterDeck Turntable is a masterpiece crafted by the renowned Allen Perkins. Born from a collaboration of vinyl enthusiasts, this reference-grade turntable is engineered for those who seek to unearth the true essence of music embedded in the grooves of their cherished vinyl LPs.
HANDCRAFTEDIN THE USA
Each MasterDeck is meticulously assembled in limited batches at thier Ann Arbor, Michigan factory, exemplifying their commitment to unparalleled quality control.
10″ DUAL-PIVOT CARBON-FIBRE TONEARM
The MasterDeck boasts an all-new dual-pivot carbon-fibre 10-inch tonearm, epitomising the perfect blend of precision, control, and friction-free tracking.
This state-of-the-art tonearm, featuring a removable headshell, allows for the fine-tuning of various cartridges. Adjustments include azimuth, vertical tracking angle (VTA), overhang, and anti-skate, all enhanced by the premium internal wiring from Cardas Audio.
THREE SPEED SELECTION WITH PRECISION TRIM ADJUSTMENT
The MasterDeck from MoFi Electronics - Mobile Fidelity is engineered for versatility and precision, offering a three-speed selection to accommodate 33, 45, and 78 RPM records.
This feature allows audiophiles and vinyl enthusiasts to explore their diverse collections with ease. Further enhancing its functionality, the MasterDeck includes a fine-tuning trim adjustment. This precision control enables users to make subtle speed modifications, ensuring an exact playback speed for every record.
Whether it’s a vintage 78 RPM shellac or a modern 33 RPM LP, the MasterDeck delivers an accurate and faithful audio reproduction, tailored to the unique characteristics of each vinyl format.
PRECISION SPEED REGULATION FOR ACCURATE PLAYBACK
MasterDeck excels with its sensor-regulated motor, a testament to its advanced engineering. Equipped with a three-phase brushless DC drive, it achieves unparalleled stability and precision in rotational speed.
The design of the motor, isolated to prevent interference, is key to its ability to produce clear and accurate sound. This precision in motor control is essential for the exact reproduction of vinyl records, ensuring every musical detail and nuance is faithfully reproduced, just as the artist intended. By synchronising the DC motor with the user’s speed selection, MasterDeck guarantees a playback experience that is not only precise but also true to the original recording, free from any speed-related distortions.
ANTI-VIBRATION FEET BY HRS
The MasterDeck's performance is further enhanced by its Harmonic Resolution Systems Isolation Feet. Engineered to provide 5.5 degrees of freedom, these feet effectively 'float' the turntable, offering exceptional isolation from environmental vibrations and feedback.
This design is crucial in maintaining the turntable's stability, ensuring that every musical nuance is delivered with clarity and precision.
1.75-INCH ALUMINIUM X DELRIN® HYBRID PLATTER
The MasterDeck's Delrin platter, measuring 1.75 inches in thickness and composed of a unique Aluminium and Delrin hybrid, exemplifies the fusion of innovative design with acoustic precision. This carefully chosen combination significantly reduces resonance, providing a remarkably stable and inert base for vinyl playback. Such stability is crucial for maintaining the purity of the audio signal, ensuring that every playback is as true to the original recording as possible.
ENCAPSULATED SPIRAL GROOVE INVERTED BEARING
The MasterDeck incorporates an Encapsulated Spiral Groove Inverted Bearing, designed for unparalleled precision and stability. This sophisticated bearing system is meticulously engineered to minimise friction and reduce wear, resulting in an incredibly smooth turntable rotation.
ABOUT THE ULTRAGOLD MC CARTRIDGE
Crafted in Japan using strict quality-control measures for exacting precision, and uniquely voiced by Spiral Groove founder Allen Perkins, UltraGold MC offers analog lovers everything they would hope to expect and more from an audiophile moving-coil cartridge.
True to MoFi’s core principles, UltraGold MC goes further by providing true-to-the-source faithfulness, lifelike separation, surgical accuracy, and clean tracking.
Nude Shibata Stylus and Boron Cantilever
UltraGold MC’s nude Shibata stylus and boron cantilever help the cartridge’s palpable low-end reproduction, high transient responsiveness and robust midrange. The Shibata profile diamond chosen for playback marked by hear-it-to-believe-it depth, immersion, and fullness.
Effortless Setup
Threaded holes in UltraGold MC’s aluminium cartridge body permits the user to mount it on a headshell or integral tonearm with just two screws — no bolts or nuts needed. Analog setup doesn’t get any easier.
