The Mobile Fidelity StudioDeck+ is an entry-level turntable that combines high-fidelity sound quality with exceptional value. Designed in collaboration with turntable expert Allen Perkins and manufactured in the USA, it features a meticulously engineered design focused on isolating the stylus from vibrations and noise. The turntable comes factory-equipped with a MoFi StudioTracker moving magnet cartridge and includes a 10-inch straight aluminum gimbaled bearing tonearm with full adjustability. The solid Delrin polymer platter and steel/Teflon inverted bearing system ensure smooth, quiet operation. Gold-plated RCA connectors and comprehensive vibration isolation feet help preserve the accurate sound captured on vinyl records. An external phono preamp is required for operation.
