Dovetailing with the purist-minded philosophy long espoused
by the Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab's Sebastopol, California studio, the
Stereophile Analog Product of the Year Award-winning and The Absolute Sound
Editors' Choice Award-winning UltraDeck+ is devoted to exceptionally quiet,
true-to-the-source playback of vinyl LPs without adding any of its own
colorations. But it goes even further by taking critical measures to ensure
unwanted noises and ruinous vibrations remain kept from the critical
stylus/record interface. Proudly made in the USA at Mobile Fidelity's in-house
factory in Michigan, and designed in collaboration between Mobile Fidelity
engineers and turntable expert/Spiral Groove founder Allen Perkins, the study
25-pound UltraDeck+ is a world-class component eminently qualified to reproduce
the famous accuracy of Original Master Recordings – as well as faithfully
recreate the music on any other LP you play.
Deemed an "instant classic" by The Absolute Sound,
UltraDeck+ immediately stands out via its super-sturdy, unshakable physicality
that includes a 1.3-inch Delrin platter – 75 percent thicker than that on
Mobile Fidelity's StudioDeck model – that delivers deep-black backgrounds and a
fantastically low noise floor. Delrin is chosen due to its natural impedance
match with vinyl. Speaking of being made for LPs: UltraDeck+'s 300RPM isolated
AC synchronous motor offers excellent speed stability for stellar pitch
accuracy and rhythmic drive. Better still, UltraDeck+'s constrained layer
dampening build – comprised of three aluminum plates bonded to the MDF body –
adds extra mass, eliminates coloration, and contributes to increased stability.
It's just another way UltraDeck+ takes its purpose to the extreme.
Mobile Fidelity's engineering prowess extends to the
custom-developed Ultra tonearm, a 10-inch straight aluminum gimbaled bearing
design whose rigidity and tracking prowess translate into hyper-accurate
information retrieval. Ultra tonearm also uses Cardas Audio wiring to maintain
signal purity from the head shell leads all the way through the RCA connectors.
Adjustable tracking force, VTA, azimuth, and anti-skate grant you limitless
options for tweaks and adjustments. A hardened-steel inverted bearing system
complete with sapphire materials provides UltraDeck+ wonderfully smooth,
rotational stability while anti-vibration feet – co-developed with the
engineering team at Harmonic Resolution Systems, the world leader in vibration
isolation – further shield UltraDeck+ from disruptive resonances. Again,
everything circles back to preserving the genuine sound locked in the grooves
of your LPs. It's why Mobile Fidelity even outfits UltraDeck+ with high-quality
gold-plated connectors shielded by a copper foil box to prevent airborne RF
noise and, as a bonus, includes a removable, hinged dust cover to guard against
debris when the 'table isn't spinning records.
As for the included high-output MM cartridge? It's equally
profound. The key to the otherworldly analog performance achieved by
MasterTracker is reflected by its very name: Master, in reference to master
tape and Mobile Fidelity Original Master Recordings. Indeed, MasterTracker is
configured to mirror the layout the cutting head in Mobile Fidelity's Sebastopol,
California, studio that cuts the grooves on Mobile Fidelity LPs. MasterTracker
means you can now track the grooves of any LP with master-quality exactness.
Also developed in collaboration with Mr. Perkins, MasterTracker features a
"V-twin" dual-magnet generator comprised of two powerful magnets
aligned in a formation parallel with the grooves cut into a vinyl LP. Its
form-follows-function physical configuration means it is literally made to live
in records' grooves, giving it innate advantages and stunning channel
separation few other cartridges possess. And MasterTracker's internal
construction and expert voicing grant it exceptional sonic prowess that
separate it in its field.
Fine-tuned by Mr. Perkins and Mobile Fidelity, and
hand-built in Japan with cartridge housing milled from solid aluminum billet in
the USA, MasterTracker traces LP groove walls with surgical precision and
stopwatch accuracy, giving you a purist-based picture of what was originally
cut in the mastering studio. Equipped with pure Ohno continuous-cast copper
coils and a trademarked Micro Linear diamond stylus – shaped just like a
lathe's cutting head – this rarified instrument mines the seemingly limitless
amounts of information embedded in vinyl's microscopic nooks and crannies, presenting
music with grand-scale cinematic scope and three-dimensional detail. Afforded
the lightest-weight magnets of any cartridge in Mobile Fidelity's Tracker
Series, MasterTracker plays with degrees of openness, clarity, and dynamics
normally attributed to moving-coil cartridges. And its well-damped billet
aluminum body yields payoffs you'll immediately hear: Unshakable reproduction
of supremely complex passages and taut, edge-free bass.
To further ensure MasterTracker stands alone in its class,
countless hours were spent removing unwanted resonance and employing
next-generator dampening materials to improve overall performance. Everything
about MasterTracker serves the sound – and your music. Conceived in the same
studio that produces Mobile Fidelity's world-famous Original Master Recordings,
MasterTracker accomplishes what any flagship cartridge bearing the Mobile
Fidelity name should: Faithful reproduction of the original master sound.
When it comes to enjoying and connecting with your music,
you shouldn't settle. UltraDeck+ with MasterTracker means you no longer have to
do so. This is high-end analog as it's always been meant to be experienced.
"...The MoFi Electronics UltraDeck+ and StudioPhono
system does its makers proud. It's bound to please a broad range of music
lovers, who may or may not (yet) consider themselves audiophiles. Bottom line:
The UltraDeck is a smartly conceived and finely honed design that's already
earning its place as an instant classic."

Prestige doesn't come easy – or cheap. To meet all its
specific needs and demands, Mobile Fidelity established a new, dedicated
facility in Michigan to build the majority of its products in the USA. While an
uncommon and expensive endeavor in today's audio industry, in-house manufacturing
is the only way to maintain total quality control and create products that live
up to the exacting standards Mobile Fidelity established over the past four
decades with music releases. The approach cuts both ways, giving you the
security and confidence that the Mobile Fidelity product(s) you own is built to
– and built to perform at – the highest specifications.
