REFERENCE TURNTABLE FROM MOFI

The new turntable reference MoFi MasterDeck together with the RIAA-step MasterPhono we would like to see on the stereo bench.

TURNTABLE: MOFI MASTERDECK

So the time has come for a new model on top. With MasterDeck, MoFi wants to dig out all the information in the grooves of the LP records. And reproduce the music accurately according to the intentions of the artists and producers.

The chief engineer on the turntable production side is Allen Perkins, who has over 30 years of experience in turntable production. For MasterDeck, he has developed a unique 25 centimetre tonearm with built-in stabilizer (gimbal), for extra precision, control and tracking capabilities. The rod is made of carbon fibre, while a patented Spiral Groove counterweight and removable pickup fixture (headshell) give good user-friendliness. You can adjust the horizontal angle (azimuth), vertical angle (VTA) and overhang, for the best possible fit between the pickup and the rest of the construction.

The motor sits on an insulated mount to prevent dust from propagating through the pickup, and we’re promised an “extreme accuracy” of 33,3333 rpm. You can fine-tune the speed for 33, 45 and 78 rpm, via a four-digit display.

The platter is over 4 cm thick, and anti-vibration mounts from HRS are designed to suppress vibrations from the substrate. The frame is in real wood, and the total weight is almost 20 kilos. The wiring harness is produced by Cardas, to ensure that the electrical signal is also protected to the best of its ability.
