Hi everyone,
Had the pleasure of hearing the Mobile Fildelity Ultradeck at this past Capital Audiofest. They had it playing through TAD electronics & speakers. They MoFi sounded very, very good...quiet, deep background with a very textured & detailed presentation on top. They were spinning the One-Step (I believe that’s what they call it) version of Santana’s Abraxas & the sound was incredible. They’ve been getting great reviews...and the pricing is very fair & competitive.
I also visited the Fern & Roby room. They had various versions of turntables they built, including some with their own phono preamp. While they struck me as very well-made, I couldn’t help but feel they were products that were aesthetically-focused, more of a lifestyle concept vs. sonic purposed. No doubt they had a different look to them with elements of steampunk & even an industrial-age vibe. The price of entry is high, however, they present a unique design & look on the “usual” record player.
Just my $0.02 worth, of course...
