Really good turntables are never cheap and neither are excellent phono preamps, for which you can pay double the price of this one, so will be interesting to see just how good these are.
I quite often recommend their cheaper phono preamps because they are excellent value for money so expect this one to be brilliant.

I know that there kit is quality Al, I do have the studio phono, cracking wee box.

Both That master deck and master phono looks really nice though, @ 6000us for the deck I reckon that'll be in the 4-5k region gbp....I want it /them.

Unfortunately most stuff from the States comes with an almost pound per dollar pricing so think that deck is going to be nearer £6000

A bit out my league Al...I'll keep the Avid ingenium for a while I think.

I'd only consider buying the deck if I could sell my current set-up for the same sort of price.

Hi praise indeed Al, if you would consider switching from your Dr fiekert deck.
On another note out of curiosity, do you have any of the mofi vinyl pressings?

I will hopefully get to audition that deck whenever it's released over here......
Regarding pressings:-
Yes, quite a few including a few of their one-step pressings (I know they aren't cheap but they were mostly birthday / Christmas presents)

Wait until you see the price of their pressings.

What's the UK dealer supply like?

Al would be the man to answer that one, I haven't had the pleasure yet.

not all of their pressings, which are some of the best out there. The one step pressings are indeed expensive. The standard MOFI LPs are worth what they cost and are not any more costly than the equivalent L.P manufacturers

 

[skinnypuppy71]

I do..indeed intend to get one or two in the near future.

What hardware or vinyl?

You will not be disappointed. All good LP providers like Speakers Corner and Analogue Audio are priced similarly and worth paying for.
I'm still waiting for someone to buy me the Eric Clapton 'Unplugged' one step.....

 

[plastic penguin]

What hardware or vinyl?

Both.

 

[Al ears]

Both.

MOFI vinyl is available from any good record shop / online dealer.
dealers for hardware are few at the moment but the main one for UK is Karma A V , also Zouch Audio and there are a few others online only like AV.com
