Description
This fairly imposing MoFi StudioDeck Plus turntable has a slightly retro ‘vibe’ curtesy of the heavily tinted cover. It’s in excellent condition and usage has been light. The cartridge still has much to give!
The yellow (lemon drop?) accents will sit very well against the new Arcam Radia kit.
Offered in the original (considerable) packaging with free UK mainland delivery and a 3 month warranty.
Original price £1349.
“The StudioDeck is the first turntable from MOFI – which sits just below the UltraDeck sharing the same isolated 300RPM AC synchronous motor but pairing with a 10″ MoFi Studio Tonearm and 0.75” Delrin platter and HRS isolating feet.
It’s only natural to use the word “Studio” in the name of one of our turntables, as doing so brings together MoFi’s software and hardware sides. And while it’s our entry-level offering, StudioDeck produces high-caliber sound at a value price. Designed in collaboration with some of the world’s finest audio designers, StudioDeck features an incredible amount of ingenuity and technology usually reserved for much more expensive products.

StudioTracker MM Cartridge Pre Mounted And Aligned
StudioTracker’s elliptical stylus allows it to dig deep into record grooves to extract hidden cues, deliver heightened levels of information retrieval, and solidly convey analogue’s prized bottom end frequencies. V Twin dual magnet generator Elliptical stylus Polymer body 3.5mV output.
STUDIO TONEARM
Custom developed and manufactured in the USA, this 10-inch straight aluminum gimbaled bearing tonearm delivers the ideal balanced of rigidity and low tracking error, so all you hear is what is in the grooves. Tweak to your heart’s delight with provisions for adjustable tracking force, VTA, azimuth, and anti-skate.
ISOLATED AC SYNCHRONOUS MOTOR
Our 300 RPM stepped-pulley AC motor provides excellent speed stability for pitch accuracy and rhythmic drive. The Delrin® pulley has two positions for 33 1/3 and 45 RPM speed selection. Motor vibrations are kept away from the platter and stylus by using advanced dampening materials that decouple the motor from the rest of the turntable.
CONSTRAINED LAYER DAMPENING
StudioDeck features an aluminum plate carefully bonded to an MDF body to add mass and eliminate tonal coloration, maintaining the true sound found on the record.
METICULOUS DESIGN AND EVALUATION
Advanced technology, user-friendly features, and unflappable design elements ensure phenomenal playback—ultimately bringing the sound of Mobile Fidelity’s famous studio into your home.
ANTI-VIBRATION FEET BY HRS
Any vibration of the stylus that is not created by the grooves in the record is a distortion that will mask musical detail. Developed in conjunction with the engineering team at Harmonic Resolution Systems, the world leader in vibration isolation for audio equipment, the included MoFi anti-vibration feet isolate your turntable from bad vibrations.
3/4-INCH DELRIN® PLATTER
Delrin® is a next-generation polymer developed by Dupont. In the world of audio, Delrin’s® highly crystalline structure presents a wonderful impedance match to vinyl records, effectively grounding unwanted noise and keeping it away from the stylus.
STEEL AND TEFLON INVERTED BEARING
Our steel inverted bearing system is designed for smooth, quiet rotational stability. The extremely low tolerance combination of steel, bronze, and teflon—found in much more expensive turntables—will provide you many years of high-performance playback.
