Jay, all three tables are fine. I like the MoFi Ultradeck myself. The wall wart or separate power supply is always best for turntables. You do not want AC anywhere near your cartridge. There is nothing wrong with a well designed wall wart.
Question about TT Power Connections
Hello,
So I currently have a Denon DP-300f TT with Ortofon 2M Blue Cartridge. It's running fine and I quite enjoy it but now am in the process of researching some new tables as I would like to upgrade.
So while I am researching different aspects of what makes a good turntable, one feature that I thought for sure I wanted and did not need to second guess is the power connection. Up until now, I thought a IEC type connection would be the best for a TT especially since you have the option of getting a better cable in the future.
But I read a comment somewhere (granted it was just one comment but just enough to make me second guess this) stating basically that IEC is not a good option for TT's.
Now I know some really more expensive TT's have a separate power unit but that starts to get into a range that is out of my budget. The max I might spend is up to $2500 and that's getting pretty crazy for me.
I was under the impression wall wart type plugs are not ideal for TT's.
So basically I want to ask what is the ideal type of connection for TT's when it comes to power?
Some of the tables that I am considering is:
- Music Hall mmf-7.3
- Rega Planar 6
- Mofi Ultradeck
Thanks
