MoFi UltraDeck / StudioDeck Owners and those interested

This Ultradeck man.... what is it that makes the background so quiet? Is a side effect of great feet coupled with Delrin's resonance response?

I would always hear the run in groove on my Fluance, I'd hear the needle traversing the deadwax but this thing is JET BLACK until you hit the first track. I keep dropping the needle and glancing at my pre-amp to make sure it was turned on cause I hear no immediate feedback. So freaking cool! I'm at work rn fighting the urge to run back home and through on a record lmao

I noted a similar difference just by changing the cartridge on my Traveler. I moved from an Ortofon 2M Blue to the Hana SL and the groove noise dropped substantially.

Any thoughts that the passive radiator on the back of the Forte might carry vibrations through the MoFi dust cover? That’s one thing that I’ve favored about the removable cover of the PLX.

Darn sure is pretty, though!

At my typical listening levels, I’ve never noticed anything from the dustcover. The passive does not output as much as say a rear port does. It’s spread out over a larger area an just doesnt throw out enough energy to reach the cover. However, I typically listen with it off with other tables and will get to that soon. Having fun switching between the two tonight. Little shootout. Good stuff. F183FD54-4442-47C2-80D6-E862617AD246.jpeg

I've always had a thing for Telecaster's so I wholeheartedly approve! That Sunburst is amazing. Will be curious of your thoughts on how this plinth compares with the standard sonically if at all.

Try one of these under the PD for a little extra isolation if you get a chance, nice tweak for $20

Absolutely SPOOKY experience listening to Nat King Cole's - The Very Thought of You AP pressing. Instant goosebumps, felt like the ghost of Nat King Cole took up residence in my living room for a private show. Made me kind of emotional if I'm being honest lol.

Highly recommend picking it up for anyone who needs an end-game demo record: Nat King Cole-The Very Thought Of You-45 RPM Vinyl Record|Acoustic Sounds
 
Can someone remind me how to rotate the tonearm assembly? The cart is hitting the SHW at the end of an album and I think I remember being able to rotate the arm out a little so that it stops earlier? Just don't remember how.

Thanks in advance!!
