MoFi Turntables

gbryant, I've been looking at turntables for quite a while, and was considering something similar from VPI as well. Ultimately, I was put off by their business model, I never have been a fan of companies that tweak their product line so that they always have something slightly different to offer. The UltraDeck came completely set up, or nearly so, and the packaging was stupendous. I was up & running in 20 minutes. Zero regrets on the purchase, for me.

That's Harry Weisfeld for you.   He's a born tinkerer, and would offer a new model of turntable every month if Matt didn't hold him back.

The free-form amoeba plinth didn't help, either. :)  I don't doubt that they're a good TT, though.

I have a 1200gr and the gap between it and my Prime is that that far. 

If my house  was on fire I wouldn’t feel guilty just grabbing the 1200gr. That may have something to do with the weight of the Prime ;)
