We have a local music club that (up until recently) meets at a local hifi dealer and we have listened to the MOFI Ultradeck 2 or 3 times now for a couple of hours each time. Seems to be a very good table. Lots of body and dynamics. I own a Music Hall MMF 7.1 and that's a very solid table. I think the newest iteration of it is in your price range. I owned a Clearaudio Concept for a short time. It's a very good table, but it was the most sensitive to footfalls of any table I've ever owned and I have springy floors, so it didn't last long in my system.
New TT for ~$1500
My birthday is coming up and I will be asking for a *new* TT. Budget is up to $1500, but preferably closer to $1k. I would be comfortable pitching in another few hundred $$$ for a good cartridge if I get a table without one. Was thinking:
Rega P3, maybe P6 if I really stretch the budget (that'd be over my $1500 mark)
MoFi StudioDeck
Clearaudio Concept (I have a lead on a lightly used one with low hours, bundled with an Artist V2 cart, but might make gift giving awk)
Pro-Ject X2 w/ Sumiko Moonstone
Any thoughts?

TEAC TN-300 this is attractive for you ? I'm afraid with a belt drive turntable like this you will never understand what is analog playback, those Music Hall, Pro-Ject and Rega are the same. Buying a turntable like this for $1500 is absolutely crazy, it must be $500 turntable max. Audiogon became a platform for questions like this, always Rega, Pro-Ject and related belt drive entry level stuff for systems based on wireless speakers or even usb devices. About 10 topics per week. The industry already buried ? It's crazy |
Alternative version: Luxman PD-441 (Direct Drive), not with Fidelity-Research tonearm, but with simplest tonearm. |
@chakster what part of Russia are you from? I ask because 5 years ago, my wife and I were in St. Petersburg for a week. I was drooling over the architecture and the beautiful women. In all my travels, I have never seen so many beautiful women as I did in St. Petersburg. Everyone was so friendly, what a beautiful country. A Facebook friend and his wife from Moscow, flew out To meet my wife and I. They both spoke English well and they showed us all the sights, one of the best vacations we ever took! We even went to a real Russian Tea Room. The statues of Peter The Great were quite impressive as well. |
