Mobile Fidelity Ultradeck Turntable + UltraGold MC Cartridge

DESCRIPTION

MoFi Electronics introduces the Ultradeck Turntable

Available with UltraGold MC Cartridge  

Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab has established "Ultra" as a symbol of its long-running commitment to delivering optimal sound reproduction that surpasses industry standards. Utilising the UltraDeck, one can experience a sonic representation of the Original Master Recording from any LP, including our limited-edition UltraDisc One-Step. 

ULTRA TONEARM
Custom-developed and manufactured in the USA, the 10-inch Ultra tonearm uses smooth, high-quality ball bearings for low friction in the vertical and horizontal plane so all you hear is what is in the grooves. Cardas Audio wiring maintains signal purity from the headshell leads all the way through to the high-quality, gold-plated RCA connectors.
ISOLATED AC SYNCHRONOUS MOTOR

The stepped-pulley AC motor ensures optimal speed consistency for precise pitch control and consistent groove tracking. It features a Delrin® pulley with two settings for 33 1/3 and 45 RPM, and incredibly efficient dampening materials to keep motor vibration away from the platter and stylus. 

CONSTRAINED LAYER DAMPENING
UltraDeck features three aluminium plates carefully bonded to an MDF body to add mass and eliminate tonal coloration, maintaining the true sound found on the record.
METICULOUS DESIGN AND EVALUATION
Advanced technology, user-friendly features, and unflappable design elements ensure phenomenal playback—ultimately bringing the sound of Mobile Fidelity’s famous studio into your home. 
ANTI-VIBRATION FEET BY HRS
Any vibration of the stylus that is not created by the grooves in the record is a distortion that will mask musical detail. Developed in conjunction with the engineering team at Harmonic Resolution Systems, the world leader in vibration isolation for audio equipment, the included MoFi anti-vibration feet isolate your turntable from bad vibrations.
1.3-INCH DELRIN® PLATTER
UltraDeck features a massive 1.3-inch Delrin® platter. The increased mass creates blacker sonic backgrounds and a lower noise floor. Delrin® is a next-generation polymer developed by Dupont. In the world of audio, Delrin's® highly crystalline structure presents a wonderful impedance match to vinyl records, effectively grounding unwanted noise and keeping it away from the stylus.
HARDENED-STEEL INVERTED BEARING
A hardened-steel inverted bearing system is designed for smooth, quiet rotational stability. The extremely low tolerance combination of steel, bronze, and sapphire—found in much more expensive turntables—will provide you many years of high-performance playback.

About UltraGold MC 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.

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 expect — and more — from an audiophile moving-coil cartridge. Namely, exceptionally wide frequency response, clear high-frequency transients, stunning dynamics, and incredibly rich detail.

Nude Shibata Stylus and Boron Cantilever

UltraGold MC's nude Shibata stylus and boron cantilever help account for the cartridge's palpable low-end reproduction, high transient responsiveness, and robust midrange. The Shibata profile diamond is further 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.
