In the ever-evolving world of audio technology, MoFi Distribution stands at the forefront, proudly introducing the MasterDeck Turntable – a masterpiece engineered by the revered turntable artisan, Allen Perkins. Crafted with an unwavering commitment to audiophiles, this reference-grade turntable promises to unravel the true essence embedded within the grooves of vinyl LP collections.
Precision Redefined: The Dual-Pivot Carbon-Fiber Tonearm
At the heart of the MasterDeck lies its pièce de résistance – a groundbreaking Dual-Pivot carbon-fiber 10-inch tonearm. This engineering marvel strikes the perfect balance between precision, control, and friction-free tracking. The tonearm's versatility knows no bounds, featuring a removable headshell and facilitating adjustable horizontal angle (azimuth), vertical tracking angle (VTA), overhang, and anti-skate. The internal tonearm wiring, meticulously handled by Cardas Audio, ensures an unparalleled audio journey.
Optimized Playback with Innovative Speed Control
The MasterDeck achieves sublime playback precision through an optically regulated speed controller, housing a three-phase brushless DC drive motor in an isolated container. Offering fine speed adjustments for 33, 45, and 78 RPM, the turntable boasts a four-digit display for precise control. The 1.75-inch thick platter, constructed from a high-mass hybrid material of Aluminum and Delrin, rests atop an Encapsulated Spiral Groove inverted bearing of ultra-high quality. This combination ensures an unmatched auditory experience.
Innovative Design for Enhanced Acoustics
Aesthetically pleasing and acoustically superior, the MasterDeck features a solid wood frame, available in Walnut or Black Ash finish. This frame wraps around a constrained-layer body of wood and aluminum, eliminating all resonances. Custom Harmonic Resolution Systems (HRS) Isolation Feet effectively float the MasterDeck, providing isolation from environmental noise and feedback.
