About the MasterDeck
The Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab (MoFi Electronics) MasterDeck is a premium, manually operated, three-speed belt-drive turntable designed and built in the USA. It combines a solid-wood-framed plinth with a constrained-layer MDF/aluminum construction, a heavy Delrin-surfaced aluminum platter, electronically regulated speed control, HRS isolation feet, and a 10-inch carbon-fiber hybrid unipivot/gimbal tonearm with detachable headshell. It is supplied without an integrated phono preamplifier or standard cartridge, although package versions may be sold with the MoFi UltraGold moving-coil cartridge. The available evidence indicates that the MasterDeck remains an actively marketed and commercially available model; it should not be classified as no longer manufactured.
