I spent many months trying to decide which turntable to purchase and decided to pull the trigger and go for the Mofi Ultradeck + Mastertacker phono cartridge. Kat's team (Sean-Paul) set up and checked the table before shipping it and when it arrived I leveled the table onto a Pro-ject Ground-It E turntable base, re-checked the VTF and plugged it into the moving magnet phono section of my Naim Supernait3 before spinning Led Zeppelin's debut album, side one. WOW! I am floored just how good this Mofi Ultradeck + M combo is! It sounds different than every turntable I have owned, including a table over $3K that has been my #1 table for the past nine years. For starters, the Ultradeck is dead quiet, I mean DEAD QUIET. I can't help but say that this turntable sounds so good that I am done searching for my end game turntable. Just wanted to mention that I upgraded the AC cord as well as the phono cables and I urge all buyers to buy the Mofi Heavyweight record clamp because I consider it a MUST BUY that will clearly enhance the sound of your vinyl collection. I would venture to say that one may have to spend a few times the price of this table to possibly compete with it. If you are on the fence considering this turntable, just buy it. Combined with the Mastertacker phono cartridge, it's a ridiculous value that's off the charts! Mofi has produced a stellar turntable that punches way above its price!

The construction, stability and tracking of this deck are incredible. A nice upgrade from my tricked out Rega P3. I’ve also been getting a lot of comments on the aesthetics including the dust cover which looks especially cool.

Simple to operate and sounds great. Also looks great. My only complaint would be the anti-skate device which is a weight on a string and it is unclear where correct anti-skate position is. I bought an anti-skate blank record to get it set properly which makes me feel good now that it is sent properly. As far as my overall feeling about the UltraDeck, I’m very pleased. When paired with a good cartridge you can expect outstanding sound.

Very Happy to be spinning Vinyl Again after a 35 year hiatus and digital only listening. The Analog team of Ken, Sean and Kat all played a part in guiding me to the MoFi Ultradeck and select a Hana MH cartridge to pair with it. The cartridge was a step - up from my considerations but I think makes this really sound great, over my original budget but in the long run happier with the quality of the sound. The MoFi came packed extremely well with an exterior box over the fog box and lots of padding to protect it in shipping. Upscale mounts the cartridge and tests the table before shipping, something other online audio shops do not do. The MoFi was easy to setup and get started, listening to a few records my wife had from the past and some I had ordered online including a few Master Pressings from MoFi studios. I am very pleased with the sound and easy operation of the table. My only complaint would be the quality of the cables that came with it, seems at this price MoFi should do better. Quickly replaced the cables with some decent ones and big difference. I can’t say enough good about the people and service from Upscale Audio, my go to supplier, as I work on upgrading the sound of my hifi system. The MoFi Ultradeck for analog and the Auralic Altair G1 for digital and streaming are key components to my hifi upgrade. Thanks I’ll be buying from Upscale again.

It was a toss-up between the Mo-Fi Ultradeck, Studio Deck, and another brand... I talked to Kevin, and he gave me the straight, unbiased, information I needed to make my decision. I'm glad I listened to him. I received the Ultradeck with Master Tracker on Monday and eagerly set it up in my listening area. I was replacing a Project Carbon DC with 2M blue cartridge. I fired the Ultradeck up, and put on some of my Mo-Fi albums (Beatles "Sergeant Pepper") and some older cherished albums. I was blown away, the TT was dead quiet (I mean totally black) and I heard the Beatles individual voices when they were harmonizing. The sound surrounded me, and I can't rave enough about the turn table/cartridge combination enough. One thing, and it was noted on the packing list, was that I had to run the ground wire from the TT to the preamp, as there was a little bit of hum. The hum disappeared after running the ground wire. I am totally satisfied with the service from Upscale Audio, the prices, quick delivery and fair, unbiased advice I received. Thank you, Kevin, you have a customer for life now.
