I had the privilege to hear this at AXPONA 2024, and it's absolutely amazing. Was lucky enough to see Allen and had a chance to tell him so.
Allen Perkins is a master of design.
Allen Perkins is Genius Level!
Well,it does what my 1975 Dual 1249 does with a DV Karat under the headshell.
It's beautiful. Congrats on expanding the lineup.
I own a vintage 1978 Onkyo turntable , but this looks really nice mate thanks for showing it .
An absolutely gorgeous piece...but about 3x more $$$ than I can afford to spend.
I think I like this tonearm -- needs to get me hands on one.
Manythnx Mofi🤘
Love how they use a warped record to show off the insanely over-spec'd vertical arm motion!
last year I bought a couple new LP's that were amazing - so warped one actually hit the tonearm.... and last week I got a new LP that, first time out , had the good 'ole LP pop / click.... ahh the good 'ole days.
not just warped but filthy! 😅
Impressive.
For a 6k turnaround you have so many options that isn’t utilizing cast parts in the tonearm. Good on mofi for utilizing a delrin platter but at the end of the day - this isn’t a 6k table
Nice Deck, I'll stick with my Garrard 401 and the two SME arms, it's quiet, stable and the music just flows effortlessly.
The ultimate turntable should be direct-drive.
Ha. Thank for sharing your opinion.

Beautiful piece, absolutely gorgeous. Just checked your website, and am wondering why you neglect to tell us the performance specs. Yes, it's fine to give us the weight, dimensions, arm length, power consumption, number of speeds,etc. How about wow & flutter, rumble, speed accuracy? Is it because those numbers are inferior to dozens of older Technics, Sony, Pioneer units, and you'd prefer we don't need to know that? Yes, I know, those specs don't tell us how good the sound is, but they do.
You are overlooking that the performance specs are not given under oath, and that some manufacturers, with Japanese brands getting a lot of press for not meeting specs, are historically known to publish erroneous specs.
No, most of the old specs are legit.@@richardelliott8352

Sexy! I got a preview of it at Audio Advice Live in August 2023, and it was very impressive.
I'd like to see a company design a high end automatic turntable. Is it possible? I'm asking because people are only getting older and their hands are getting more and more shaky. I think a good high end automatic turntable would do well on the market.
I have a thorens 103 ( discontinued ) far as I know thorens makes the best avail auto's... ? I'm guessing You're thinking multi thousands of $$$ ? to me, I'm 74 and have had T'tables for a while going back to an original ( new ) AR. and yes I learned quick that for me full auto was the way to go. machine obviously handled the critical needle / soft vinyl LP contact better than my hands. especially if 'enhancements were in use. plus of course Ya can push the button & have a bit of time to sit down - or just relax after play. but I near always play DVD's I like concert videos be it D.Krall Paris , A.Netrebko. LaTraviatta or G.Dead movie ( 2 nd disc )
Drop the tone arm before even starting the turntable. Safest.
The worst thing about the turntable world is this religious devotion to non-auto TT. Audiophiles are often elitist, never figuring they might not have ten fully functioning fingers forever. I use linear trackers that blow away most of these new gen tinker turntables.
@@RetroView66 If one has a limited budget, performance for the dollar must be optimized. given that everything rattles on a turntable, as pertains to what the needle sees during use, the fewer parts, the quieter the sonic signature
@@rickc661 I guess you are not a queuing lever type of person.
Anche il mio gyra di 40 anni con la stessa testina potrebbe rivaleggiare ❤
Does it convert your records to DSD files before playback?
hahahahahaaaaaaa
What happened to my comment why is it not hearing anymore?
What type of belt material is that? just silicon or neoprene or something else
Does the MasterDeck have a cover?
Their website says "no" to dustcover.
This is all very good but can unfortunately be ruined by a simple $30 belt. This is the case on my Ultradeck + Mastertracker. The spot where the belt is 'welded' causes a 'boom' as it passes through the pulley, causing me to turn off my subwoofers (2 x REL S510). You should also focus on the design and manufacturing of the belt which is ultimately a fundamental component.
you got a bad belt dude..I have the UD with a sub and don't get any bump. Something else going on there.
@@jc51373Same! Zero issues with my UltraDeck belt also! He should deff reach out to MoFi about that something isn’t right!
LOL, a string anti-skate mechanism, a cheesy-cheap tonearm, it’ll never replace my coveted Thorens unit.
But you can have the Best of Both Worlds you can have the cables fitted in the head shell just by having a sliding block dovetail and a tightening With a nylon Bolt, the block can be removed and just a new headshell put in with the cartridge already connected, and just plug in the Block and tightened. I don't know why I've never seen it done like this?? if you make one make sure I get a couple and 15% of any sales as well royalty on the headshell. All rights received patent designed owned by me p.p
I've got a complete new motor design need it put in production nothing has ever used this type of motor design before not going to leave comments about it but if you're interested we can talk
How long will it last? 5 years and then throw it away? I rather spend money on a vintage deck from the 70s.
This is all cheap stuff that won't last.
This is surely a really nice und well designed turntable. The MoFi TTs come along with a cool style. But the Masterdeck costs as much as three Ultradecks. Here in Germany it is offered for 8.000 Euro. At that pricepoint you find only in Germany a handful of great manufacturers with excellent turntables which have a perfect finish (Acoustic Signature, Transrotor, TW Acustics, Clearaudio etc.). I'm sure the Masterdeck tonearm is well engineered but it doen't look high class. It's the same with the VPIs. It seems american manufacturers don't care much about finish. I can imagine the Masterdeck sounds great but for that price I would expect more.
And in a promo-video such dusty vinyl??! Really? Funfact: MoFi sells dust brushes. They should use them.
Any 70's or 80's turntable could probably outperform this deck without all the pretentious hype.
My Sony PSX800 or even PS-X55 kills these cheap designs.
@@RetroView66 Says the guy who has never seen or heard one.
Hahahaha LOL@@RetroView66
So basically you re-created a really nice record deck probably 100 times the price that is no better van a really good record deck from the 1970s/early 80s those bearings you mentioned on the tone arm. They don’t even do one revolution, the tone arm on the moose by certain amount of degrees, not even one full rotation and direct drive turntables from the 1970s/early 80s used to keep 100% speed accurate and I’m a admit, a drive belt on the outside of the platter. Stupid idea gets contaminated by , dust and moisture in the air drive belt should be at least underneath the platter if you’re going to have a drive belt
Using dusty records??
They're just following Roy Gandy's lead....dust has no effect on playback or your stylus 😂😂😂😂
Lot of subtle marketing
speak
to bring out a middle-fi sound reproduction.
Hard Fact.
Although I agree with you on the marketing speak part of your comment I fear you haven’t ever heard a quality recorded LP on a nice setup? Hardly middle-fi reproduction. Is this table worth $6K? That’s up to the buyer but 99.9% of most people couldn’t hear the difference between 33.33 rpm and 33.22 rpm etc. my 50 yr old AR still spins at 33.37 rpm lol with an oiled platter bushing.
Lots of good opinionated bitching here in the comments. Thanks I needed a laugh.
Now, your fake analog masters can sound real analog...
Mofi if u read this go change ur belt
This belt shit quality
Look at rega belt
I won't buy one, consumerism is out of control
Have another glass of soy milk
@@edwardyoung8575 my point exactly, what is soy milk?
the anti-skating lever mechanism doesn't please me, nor does it convince me much
Way over priced
