MoFi StudioDeck vs. MoFi UltraDeck Turntable Comparison

Показать описание

When MoFi set out to create a new line of turntables, they were entering a very crowded market. Their team knew they would have to come up with some pretty unique features to set themselves apart. Rather than having some expert engineers pressing start from scratch on a turntable design, they decided to hire experts in the field to consult with them to speed up the process while creating something unique.

If you are a collector of vinyl, you have probably come across the name, Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab. They were founded in 1977 with the goal of taking master tapes from classic albums, cleaning them up, then repressing them on premium quality vinyl.

A few years ago, the team at Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab decided it was time to come out with a line of turntables to compliment their great records. The brand MoFi was launched at CES 2016 with two turntables, two phono preamps, and 3 new phono cartridges.

Today’s video will focus on the two turntables, the StudioDeck and the 2018 Stereophile's Analog Component of the Year Table, the UltraDeck.

I really like the detachable RCA and Power cables feature on the MOFI Turntables. Very Nice!

Seriously considering upgrading to the Ultradeck. This video was very helpful in finding more differences between the two

I have owned the Mofi Studiodeck for over a year now, and it is an excellent performing turntable. Fantastic sounding!!

If you really can't afford the ultradeck, that studiodeck is a bargain. Still, if you really love vinyl, my advice (for what it's worth) is to get the higher end turntable. You will be happier in the long run. But both look great!

I've had my Ultradeck for over a year now and it's one of the best turntables I've ever owned. The platter and arm are awesome! You get dead quiet backgrounds with lots of detail and a huge soundstage. Definitely worth the money.

How does this compare to Rega Planar 6 and 3?

Is the UltraDeck still being manufactured?, I do not see it available at Mofi’s website

What would you say is the second best turntable to the ultradeck right now? I'm just not in a place where I can afford the ultradeck but I'm curious what would be considered the second best thing.

What phono stage would you recommend for the StudioDeck?

Thanks for the nice table reviews. Really getting tired of the headphone reviews. Thousands of dollars for headphones and a headphone amp! For those that live in a 400 square ft apt. In NY. Or just plain strike while the iron is hot for manufacturers. Its making me rethink where I buy my equipment from. Dealers chasing and convincing there customers that they need to spend 10 grand on a headphone set up. I'm sorry, to each his own, but I think that's ridiculously milking the market and customer. Thanks for keeping it about Hi-Fi!

Hi!! I love the channel! However, is it MY phone, or is the audio quite staticy?? It was tough to listen to. Thanks

Is the tape mark on the tonearm 2 grams?

MrAMF

The deck's tonearm is extremely heavy. It's effective mass is 35g. It's very difficult or even impossible to find a cartridge that along with the tonearm, mounting screws and/or headshell would stay within the range of 8 to 12 Hz resonance.

Can you tell me if the spade on the grounding cable that comes with the ultradeck will fit the ifi Zen phono preamp's grounding post? I bought the Zen not realizing it does not use a standard sized grounding post, and would prefer to not have to cut off the spade on a grounding wire. Thx
