Praise for the Mobile Fidelity UltraDeck from Stereophile magazine:

"The MoFi UltraDeck is one of the most lucid-, engaging-, and natural-sounding record players available for under $5,000. Highly recommended."

The American-made Mobile Fidelity UltraDeck looks great and sounds amazing.

The American-made Mobile Fidelity UltraDeck looks great and sounds amazing.

Thoughtful, innovative design

Mobile Fidelity asked some legendary designers to weigh in on the details of the UltraDeck, because they know details matter to audiophiles. They used a dense, noise-reducing polymer called Delrin® to make the platter, and had a former NASA consultant design the 'table's unique anti-vibration feet. A clever inverted bearing system makes the platter spin flawlessly.

They also worked hard to foolproof the initial setup process by simplifying placement of the counterweight and anti-skating weight. To make things even easier, the Mobile Fidelity UltraPhono phono stage with headphone amplifier and its little brother, the StudioPhono without headphone amplifier, are both perfectly matched to this turntable — straight out of the box.

Features

Ultra Tonearm: Custom-developed and manufactured in the USA, the MoFi UltraDeck+M's 10" Ultra tonearm uses smooth, high-quality ball bearings for low friction in the vertical and horizontal plane so all you hear is what is in the grooves. Cardas Audio wiring maintains signal purity from the headshell leads all the way through to the high-quality, gold-plated RCA connectors.

MasterTracker Cartridge (MM): MasterTracker features a V-Twin dual-magnet generator that mirrors the layout of the cutting head that originally makes a record's grooves. Employing two low-mass, powerful magnets aligned in a V formation parallel with the record grooves, MasterTracker accurately extracts music from your LPs and features stellar tracking ability.

  • Well-Damped Billet Aluminum Body: The well-damped billet aluminum body controls resonances for tight, accurate bass reproduction. MasterTracker has the lightest-weight magnets in the Tracker Series, delivering the kind of detailed, open performance normally attributed to high-end moving-coil cartridges
  • Micro-Line Diamond Stylus: By using a Micro-Line diamond stylus shaped like the cutting head of a record lathe, MasterTracker traces vinyl groove walls with microscopic precision.
Notes:
  • This turntables come with the tracking force preset by the factory. Using this predetermined factory setting (indicated by the pre-installed yellow tape) prevents the need for a force gauge. Just place the counterweight properly on the back of the tonearm (directly behind the pre-installed yellow tape) aand you are done. No need to balance or perform any other steps for tracking weight. Do not remove the yellow tape until the counterweight is installed and you have tested playback.
  • If the yellow tape is removed before installing the counterweight, then the factory setting is lost and a force gauge must be used. The cartridge requires the tracking force be set between 1.8g and 2.2g. Using a tracking force gauge is necessary because the counter weight has no adjustment markings.

Isolated AC Synchronous Motor: The 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.

1.3" Delrin Platter: The UltraDeck+M turntable features a massive 1.3" Delrin platter. The increased mass creates blacker sonic backgrounds and a lower noise floor. 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.

Hardened-Steel Inverted Bearing System: The UltraDeck+M's hardened-steel inverted bearing system is designed for smooth, quiet rotational stability. The extremely low tolerance combination of steel, bronze, and sapphire will provide many years of high-performance playback.

Constrained Layer Dampening: The UltraDeck+M turntable 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.

Anti-Vibration Feet: 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 the UltraDeck+M turntable from bad vibrations.

RCA Connections: Connection to the phono input of your amplifier can be made with connecting cables of your choice through the turntable's gold-plated stereo RCA phono jacks and grounding screw. The UltraDeck+M turntable comes supplied with a 49" stereo RCA cable with ground wire.

Note: If your receiver does not have a suitable Phono MM input, a separate phono pre-amplifier (sold separately - see Accessories Tab) is required to connect the turntable to your amplifier.

Dust Cover: The MoFi UltraDeck+M comes supplied with a hinged cover to prevent dust build-up on the turntable.

Q
Do you need a mat go on on top of the Delrin platter or do you use it like an acrylic platter without a mat?

A
Without the mat
david  Feb 08, 2021

Good evening. No mat required. An awesome table.
amy  Feb 05, 2021
A
You should not use a mat. The platter has an inset for LP labels.
david  Feb 03, 2021
A
I don't use a mat. I'm sure you could if you wanted to
francis  Feb 03, 2021
A
Hello, you can utilize this without the need of a mat. The record is placed directly on the platter.
leonard  Feb 03, 2021
A
I don't believe it's necessary but the platter is slippery. I use a clamp to weight the record down.
michael  Feb 03, 2021
A
I did not get any separate mat and i have been impressed with the turntable--even with some fairly warped records it has behaved well.
daniel  Feb 03, 2021
A
I do not use a mat.I guess I trust mofi to get the best sound.I do use a weight to couple the record to the platter.Also the weight helps with the cleaning brush.You could try a mat but you will have to adjust the tone arm.
david  Feb 03, 2021
A
I don't use a mat; the platter holds the record just fine.
rolf e.  Feb 03, 2021

I use it without a mat but do use the Mofi record clamp. It sounds wonderful.
mike  Feb 03, 2021

No mat needed with the Delrin platter.

Q
what's the difference between Ultra deck and ultra deck + M, I see a $200 price difference between the 2 turntables, what M stands for?
israel  Feb 04, 2020

A
The difference is the cartridge that is supplied. The 200.00 price difference covers the upgraded cartridge to the MasterTracker

What is the break in period for this turntable and cartridge?
joseph  Jun 28, 2019

A
For us it seemed to only be a few weeks. Sounds great
amy  Jun 29, 2019
A
I can ' t really answer that because mine sounded so good straight out of the box (after meticulous set-up) that it met or exceeded the fidelity of the Mo-fi disks I was playing.
randall  Jun 28, 2019
Q
What does the Mobile Fidelity Ultradeck +M come with? It does not show a power supply or power cable in the pictures. Do I need to buy a power cable, if yes which one is recommended for this TT?
jeff  Feb 03, 2019
5 answers
A
Power cable included.
thomas j  Feb 03, 2021
A
It comes with a power cord. The "What's in the Box" section of the product page has a link to the owners manual that shows what's included.
thomas  Feb 06, 2019
A
It comes with a standard three-pronged AC power cord.
andrew  Feb 06, 2019
A
I was surprised by how much it came with. It does include power cable, RCA( with ground) cables, also included are a number of cartridge accessories like a stylus brush, and Allen wrenches to do the fine adjustments on both cartridge and tone arm. I have used the provided power cable without issue and would not recommend paying extra for one.
michael  Feb 06, 2019
A
It comes with a dust cover and power cable. The power supply is internal to the deck. You will need to put the balace weight on and the anti skate wait on. Everything you need is in the box. It is a fantastic deck, enjoy!!!
paul  Feb 06, 2019
Q
Does the needle lift when the record is played through?
craig  Nov 11, 2018
2 answers
A
It doesn't lift but the control lifts the arm for manual placement on the arm holder.
thomas j  Feb 03, 2021
A
The turntable does not have an auto-lift function. It's fully manual. It is possible that a Q-UP tonearm lifter could be fitted, but I have not tried.
andrew  Nov 11, 2018
Q
How would this deck do playing through a McIntosh MA5200 MM phono stage?
dennis  Aug 19, 2018
1 answer
A
It would do very well. The McIntosh's built-in Phono pre-amp works for both moving magnet and moving coil cartridges so it's fully compatible with the pre-mounted MoFi MasterTracker,
