Herb Reichert wrote about it in Stereophile as well and liked it. Can't remember the issue, but sometime last spring maybe.
MoFi "Mobile Fidelity" Master Phono.
Very interested in this unit. The interweb appears to be lacking pertinent information/reviews from owners of this fine-looking phono stage. It appears to be designed by Peter Madnick. Usually, I really enjoy the way his products are voiced. User impressions of the Master Phono would be very welcomed.

I bought one.....didnt like it all, to me a big disappointment and I like MOFI, have their ultra deck among other tables and carts. Just never got going, kind of like it was just there. no real groove etc, sound was pleasant wasn't bright or anything. Tried it with my Harmony by Pure Fidelity, the ultra deck and my Rega p8 just didn't do it for me, sent it back. |
@superhonestben I had essentially the same experience. I let it burn in for 100 hours using the Granite Audio inverted RIAA CD, as always, before I listened critically. Then I returned it. Like you say, nothing especially bad, just nothing much to recommend it beyond its flexibility. In a stable including an Allnic H3000, VAC preamp internal MC/MC, Modwright PH9.0, the Mofi came in fourth in my system. Too bad because I was hoping for more.I did like current mode more than voltage. |
