no-compromise high-end belt-drive turntable that simultaneously applies mass-loading and magnetic suspension principles — a combination rarely seen at any price, and a testament to Pro-Ject's engineering depth. At 23kg with a 10.4kg TPE-damped platter running on a magnetically decoupled inverted ceramic bearing, the Signature 10 is built to eliminate every known source of noise and resonance between the groove and the phono stage. It includes Pro-Ject's own 10\" single-pivot tonearm, balanced 5-pin DIN phono output, and electronic speed change between 33 and 45rpm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMass Loading + Magnetic Suspension — Both, Not Either\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost high-end turntables choose one approach to vibration isolation: mass loading (heavy plinth, heavy platter, inertial stability) or suspension (sprung sub-chassis, compliant feet). The Signature 10 applies both. The main plinth is filled with \u003cstrong\u003esteel pellets at its central gravity point\u003c\/strong\u003e — the same approach used in Pro-Ject's Xtension and RPM 9\/10 Carbon range — drawing resonance to a single node and dissipating it through the pellets' dispersion effect, without the single resonant frequency of a solid alloy insert. The plinth then sits on \u003cstrong\u003eopposing-magnetic isolation feet\u003c\/strong\u003e that float the entire mass above whatever surface the table rests on. The aluminum sub-chassis is further decoupled from the plinth by \u003cstrong\u003eTPE (thermoplastic elastomer) pillows\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the platter itself is magnetically decoupled from the main bearing. The result is a four-stage mechanical isolation system — plinth-to-surface, sub-chassis-to-plinth, bearing-to-sub-chassis, and platter-to-bearing — each addressed with a different engineering approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e10.4kg Platter on Inverted Ceramic Bearing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Signature 10's platter is precision-machined from aluminium alloy and damped throughout with TPE — achieving near-zero resonance. At 10.4kg, its rotational inertia provides exceptional speed stability without any electronic assist beyond the precision generator motor control. The platter spins on an \u003cstrong\u003einverted ceramic ball-and-plate bearing\u003c\/strong\u003e that is also magnetically decoupled — the magnetic force reduces the effective weight bearing on the ceramic ball to near zero, eliminating friction-generated noise and bearing rumble at the source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e10\" Single-Pivot Tonearm — Pro-Ject's Own Design\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Signature 10 tonearm is a genuine Pro-Ject design — not a re-badged third-party arm — featuring a 10\" (254.8mm effective length) single-pivot geometry in an aluminium tube.

Designed with a smaller footprint and with a 10″ tonearm, it delivers much of 12’s performance in a more compact and less expensive package. Incorporating decades of experience in turntable design and manufacture, Xtension 10 represents Pro-Ject’s technological efforts to address mass-decoupling and resonance reduction. Beginning with the mass-loaded, magnetically-suspended sub-chassis and the precision-balanced sandwich alloy platter (recycled vinyl\/alloy), the foundation of this system weighs in at a just under 50 lbs. Additionally, Pro-Ject employs magnetic decoupling feet to prevent mechanical vibration from disturbing playback. The mass and isolation create an environment of extremely low resonance allowing music to emerge from an ultra-silent background.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA DC-driven AC motor with a two-step pulley and electronic speed control maintains perfect pitch and rhythm resulting in inaudible wow \u0026amp; flutter. Further reducing noise and vibration is the isolated TPE mounting board for the 10″ carbon-fiber tonearm. The conical arm and integrated headshell are fashioned from a single piece of carbon fiber to avoid problems associated with standing wave reflections. Single-screw fixing of the armtube allows for easy azimuth adjustment if needed. The arm is fully adjustable for VTA and includes a high-performance, purpose-designed DIN-RCA phono cable (1.23m).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eInside the Plinth\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRPM 9 \u0026amp; 10 Carbon, Xtension 9, 10 \u0026amp; 12 Evolution, and Signature 10 \u0026amp; 12 use plinths that are more than meets the eye. These high-end turntables not only use medium-density fiber (MDF, which absorbs resonance), but inside the plinths are also “central gravity points” filled will steel pellets. Drawing harmful resonance to the central gravity point all but eliminates the potential for plinth and bearing noise to reach the tonearm and cartridge. Pellets are used as opposed to a solid alloy due to their dispersion effect where a solid alloy may resonate.

Unlike a solid metal insert, which can develop its own resonances, loose steel pellets dissipate vibration energy through dispersion. This draws harmful resonance away from the bearing and tonearm, dramatically reducing the potential for plinth-borne noise to colour the signal. The resulting mass (16kg total) also provides the inertial stability that characterises the best high-end turntable designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOpposing-Magnetic Isolation Feet\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe main plinth sits on three \u003cstrong\u003eopposing-magnetic isolation feet\u003c\/strong\u003e that physically decouple it from whatever surface the turntable rests on. With opposing magnets in each foot, the entire 16kg plinth effectively floats — combining the noise-rejection of a suspension design with the inertial stability of mass loading. A reviewer who tested the table noted that knocking the support surface caused no stylus skip whatsoever, a direct result of this dual-principle isolation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTPE-Damped Platter on Inverted Ceramic Bearing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePro-Ject's platter uses a precision aluminum alloy damped with a ring of \u003cstrong\u003ethermoplastic elastomer (TPE)\u003c\/strong\u003e on the underside, topped with a layer of recycled vinyl baked into the surface as an integrated mat.

Loose steel pellets, by contrast, dissipate vibrational energy through movement and friction between individual pellets — a dispersion effect that converts mechanical energy to heat rather than allowing it to resonate. Pro-Ject uses this same approach across their RPM 9, RPM 10, and Signature series plinths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does balanced operation improve sound on the Xtension 9 Evolution?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn balanced mode, the phono signal travels from the tonearm through the cable as a differential pair. Any noise picked up along the cable length is common to both conductors and cancelled at the balanced input of the phono stage — a process called common-mode rejection. The result is a lower noise floor, improved channel separation, and greater dynamic range. You need an MC cartridge, a balanced DIN cable, and a phono stage with balanced inputs to use this feature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the tonearm on the Xtension 9 Evolution be upgraded?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.

Countless varying product categories, such as cars, watches and furniture, are all embracing the ever-popular retro trend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reasoning behind this love of ‘retro’ is it’s inherent mix of classical beauty, combined with absolute mechanical precision, high-quality components, and superior performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePro-ject products gave analog a new life in the nineties; our products have successfully shown that you can listen to music in a better way than with any contemporary digital medium, and it doesn’t have to cost the earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, now with the Xtension, we at Pro-Ject aim to bring back a classical analog concept from the eighties, and combine it with our advanced contemporary technologies. After eighteen years of turntable manufacturing for analog lovers on a budget, we’re delighted to announce our first deck not subscribed to budgetary limitations; and boy does it deliver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlready, the critically acclaimed 6perspeX has proved the fantastic result of using magnets to isolate the subchassis. So consequently, for the Xtension this technology has been re-developed to utilise new magnetic feet, which almost completely decouple the main plinth. Combine this with the weighty 25 kg total mass of the turntable, and the listener benefi ts from minimal base resonance. This is a unique combination of ‘mass loaded’ and ‘floating turntable’ design principals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn keeping with these principles, the platter is metal due to its higher mass than acrylic. However, the old standard adoption of pure metal has been abandoned because of its highly-resonant tendencies. Instead, we’ve found a perfect alloy which we dampened on the inner side with Sorbothane®. Taking this base, we’ve glued recycled Vinyl records to the top (which act as a perfect mat) and bake this ‘sandwich’ before precision balancing it. The final product subsequently benefits from a wonderfully resonance-free, heavy platter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother consideration was the amount of energy the tonearm base would have to take from arm and cartridge movement. These energies have to be controlled, as do those from the motor and the bearing (they have to be kept away from the tonearm to avoid interference). Consequently, the tonearm base on the Xtension also benefits from ‘high-mass’ technologies, and is isolated from the main board by a sheet of Sorbothane®. Importantly though, this board is still able to incorporate the adoption of different tonearms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs we originally premised with this turntable, to be in keeping with its ‘classic’ ethos, the Xtension comes with a beautiful dustcover with adjustable hinges, as well as several finish options in a high-gloss lacquer. Ultimately, the Xtension truly delivers a timelessly classic, exclusive analogue experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eXtension is available in high gloss lacquer finishes: mahogany, piano and olive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable in following options:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Mounted tonearm Pro-Ject 12cc Evolution\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Mounted tonearm Ortofon RS-309D\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Without tonearm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuper-heavy 25 kg mass load magnetic floating belt drive design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSorbothane® damped ultra precise balanced Sandwich platter out of special alloy combined with Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass record puck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUltra low noise motor highest selection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMagnet supported, inverted main bearing Type Block 1 with ceramic thrust-pad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated Speed Box SE for super silent motordrive and electronically switchable speed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetal-granulate filled plinth for universal damping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMass loaded interchangeable armboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight adjustable magnet supported feets for perfect isolation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGold-plated RCA phono sockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Project","offers":[{"title":"Olive","offer_id":18729656778809,"sku":"PJ07689266","price":6799.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Piano","offer_id":18729656811577,"sku":"PJ07689273","price":6799.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Mahogany","offer_id":37708620759208,"sku":"PJ35822420","price":6799.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/products\/Vinyl_Sound_-_Xtension_12_evolution.jpg?v=1611937572"},{"product_id":"vpi-scout-21-turntable","title":"Vpi Scout 21 Turntable","description":"\u003ch1\u003eVPI Scout 21 Turntable\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable at \u003cstrong\u003eVinyl Sound\u003c\/strong\u003e in Toronto, Canada, the \u003cstrong\u003eVPI Scout 21\u003c\/strong\u003e reintroduces the audio world to the best-selling VPI turntable of all time — rebuilt, refined, and better than ever.

Custom-designed and manufactured in the USA, the UltraDeck embodies Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab's decades-long pursuit of faithful reproduction of recorded music — the same philosophy behind MoFi's legendary Original Master Recordings and UltraDisc One-Step limited-edition vinyl pressings. At its foundation is MoFi's \u003cstrong\u003e10-inch Ultra Tonearm\u003c\/strong\u003e, a straight aluminum gimbaled-bearing assembly custom-built for low-friction, accurate tracking, paired with a \u003cstrong\u003e6.8-lb Delrin platter\u003c\/strong\u003e for a low noise floor and stable rotation.

The gimbaled architecture delivers consistent, low-friction tracking stability across both axes without the setup sensitivity associated with unipivot designs, allowing the stylus to follow groove modulations accurately from the outermost band to the lead-out groove. An 18mm overhang and 22.8-degree offset angle — adjustable plus or minus 2 degrees — place the stylus on a geometry that minimizes tracking error across the playing surface, and the arm accepts cartridges weighing between 5g and 10g, covering a broad range of moving-magnet designs and lighter moving-coil cartridges. The 10-inch effective length reduces the angular tracking error inherent in shorter arms, making the Ultra Tonearm a meaningful upgrade over the 8.6-inch and 9-inch arms found on many competing belt-drive turntables at this tier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eIsolated AC Synchronous Motor, Delrin Platter, and HRS Isolation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe UltraDeck's 300 RPM AC synchronous motor is mechanically isolated from the plinth to prevent motor-borne vibration from reaching the platter bearing or tonearm. The synchronous motor design locks rotational speed to the frequency of the AC supply, producing the measured wow and flutter performance of 0.017% to 0.025% — figures that reflect tight speed stability across both 33.3 and 45 RPM playback rates. The 6.8-lb Delrin platter spins on a precision bearing and provides the playing surface for both standard LPs and MoFi's own UltraDisc One-Step pressings. Delrin, an acetal resin developed by DuPont, is chosen for its highly crystalline molecular structure, which presents an acoustic impedance closely matched to vinyl and efficiently dissipates groove-generated vibration into the platter mass rather than reflecting it back through the stylus as noise. Harmonic Resolution Systems anti-vibration feet beneath the plinth decouple the entire assembly from floor-borne vibration and acoustic feedback, preventing spurious stylus modulation that would otherwise mask low-level musical detail. Power supply compatibility spans 120V 60Hz, 220-230V 50Hz, and 100V 50Hz, making the UltraDeck usable worldwide with no voltage conversion required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey

is the MoFi Electronics UltraDeck turntable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe UltraDeck is a 2-speed belt-drive turntable from Mobile Fidelity Electronics, custom-designed and manufactured in the USA. It features a 10-inch straight aluminum gimbaled-bearing Ultra Tonearm, a 6.8-lb Delrin platter, a mechanically isolated 300 RPM AC synchronous motor, and Harmonic Resolution Systems anti-vibration feet. Measured wow and flutter of 0.017% to 0.025% and a signal-to-noise ratio of 74 dB reflect its precision engineering, and it is compatible with power supplies worldwide. It is available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the UltraDeck compare to the Pro-Ject X2 B and the Rega Planar 3?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe UltraDeck holds meaningful technical advantages over both competitors. Against the Pro-Ject X2 B, which uses a 10-inch carbon-fiber sandwich tonearm, a 1.4kg aluminum platter, and a DC motor with electronic speed control, the UltraDeck counters with a heavier 6.8-lb Delrin platter for greater rotational inertia and lower noise floor, HRS isolation feet versus the Pro-Ject's standard rubber feet, and a USA-manufactured tonearm rather than an imported assembly. Against the Rega Planar 3, which uses a lightweight phenolic plinth, a 24V AC motor, and Rega's own RB330 tonearm in a 9-inch geometry, the UltraDeck offers a longer 10-inch arm for reduced angular tracking error, a substantially heavier Delrin platter, and HRS vibration isolation that the Planar 3's lightweight philosophy explicitly avoids. Neither the X2 B nor the Planar 3 is designed with MoFi's UltraDisc One-Step pressings specifically in mind, making the UltraDeck the natural partner for owners of MoFi's own high-resolution vinyl releases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the UltraDeck play MoFi UltraDisc One-Step records?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the UltraDeck is specifically suited to playing MoFi UltraDisc One-Step limited-edition pressings. Mobile Fidelity designed the UltraDeck to be the ideal playback partner for its own high-resolution vinyl releases, and the combination of a 6.8-lb Delrin platter, isolated AC synchronous motor, and 10-inch Ultra Tonearm provides the speed stability, low noise floor, and precise tracking geometry needed to retrieve the full resolution encoded in UltraDisc One-Step records. Standard 33.3 and 45 RPM LPs are equally well served by the same engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between the UltraDeck and the MasterDeck?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MasterDeck sits above the UltraDeck as MoFi Electronics' reference-grade turntable, adding several significant engineering upgrades. The MasterDeck uses a three-phase brushless DC motor with optical speed regulation for active real-time speed correction, versus the UltraDeck's 300 RPM AC synchronous motor that relies on supply frequency stability. The MasterDeck also adds 78 RPM capability with fine-speed trim adjustment, a heavier 14.35-lb hybrid Aluminum-Delrin platter versus the UltraDeck's 6.8-lb Delrin platter, an Encapsulated Spiral Groove Inverted Bearing versus the UltraDeck's standard bearing, a dual-pivot unipivot\/gimbal hybrid tonearm with Cardas Audio wiring versus the UltraDeck's straight gimbaled arm, and a solid wood frame finished in Walnut or Black Ash. The UltraDeck delivers the core MoFi engineering philosophy at a more accessible level, while the MasterDeck represents the company's no-compromise reference statement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat cartridge should I use with the UltraDeck?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe UltraDeck's 10-inch Ultra Tonearm accepts cartridges weighing between 5g and 10g, covering the majority of moving-magnet designs and lighter moving-coil cartridges. MoFi Electronics' own UltraGold and UltraTracker moving-magnet cartridges are voiced to complement the UltraDeck's tonearm and Delrin platter, and both are available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto alongside the turntable itself. The adjustable 22.8-degree offset angle allows precise stylus alignment for any compatible cartridge to minimize distortion across the playing surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the MoFi Electronics UltraDeck in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MoFi Electronics UltraDeck turntable is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorized Mobile Fidelity Electronics dealer in Toronto, Canada. Vinyl Sound stocks the full MoFi Electronics turntable lineup including the UltraDeck, MasterDeck, and the MoFi x Fender American Vintage, and can assist customers across Toronto and Canada with cartridge selection, phono stage pairing, and setup guidance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the UltraDeck work outside North America?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the UltraDeck includes a universal power supply compatible with 120V 60Hz, 220-230V 50Hz, and 100V 50Hz mains voltages, making it usable in North America, Europe, Japan, and most other regions without a voltage converter or step-down transformer. Power consumption is under 5 watts, so the turntable places negligible demand on any standard household circuit regardless of regional voltage standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow should I set up and position the UltraDeck for best performance?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe UltraDeck performs best when placed on a level, rigid surface — a dedicated equipment rack or solid shelf — with adequate clearance on all sides for ventilation and access to the tonearm. The Harmonic Resolution Systems isolation feet handle the majority of floor-borne vibration decoupling, but the turntable benefits from being positioned away from loudspeakers to minimize acoustic feedback from the room. Cartridge alignment should be checked using the 18mm overhang and 22.8-degree offset angle as the starting point, with the offset angle adjusted within the available plus or minus 2-degree range to optimize stylus geometry for the specific cartridge in use. Vinyl Sound in Toronto can provide setup assistance and cartridge alignment guidance for customers purchasing the UltraDeck.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mobile Fidelity","offers":[{"title":"UltraDeck with no Cartridges","offer_id":35595208392872,"sku":"UltraDeck","price":2299.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"UltraDeck + with factory aligned UltraTracker cartridge","offer_id":35595208425640,"sku":"UltraDeck+","price":2699.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"UltraDeck +M with factory aligned MasterTracker cartridge","offer_id":35595208458408,"sku":"UltraDeck+M","price":2999.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"UltraDeck +UG With UltraGold MC","offer_id":42323668893948,"sku":"UltraDeck+UG","price":3699.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/products\/MOBILE-FIDELITY-ULTRADECK-TURNTABLE-FRONT-VINYLSOUND.jpg?v=1652361671"},{"product_id":"musical-fidelity-m6x-vinyl-phono-stage","title":"Musical Fidelity M6x Vinyl - Phono Stage","description":"\u003ch1\u003eM6x Vinyl - Phono Stage\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe M6x ViNYL is a very high performance, highly accurate phono MM\/MC cartridge amplifier in a beautifully designed and executed casework. We set out to make a phono stage without any practical limits. It’s designed in such a way to ensure you cannot overload the input stage or encounter any practical limitations in the output driving capacity during regular use, whether running single-ended or balanced. It has three inputs, and each can be individually set for either MM\/ MC and loading. Each input also then remembers its own settings. It offers state-of-the art technical and sonic performance at a very competitive price and is the epitome of the true spirit of high-end audio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDesign Philosophy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile updating from the M6 ViNYL to the M6x ViNYL, we have switched to an entirely discrete circuitry, which results in better technical measurements and better sound. It is equipped with one balanced input and output as well as two single-ended inputs and one single-ended output to fit well into any vinyl hi-fi system. But the important question is: what is so special about discrete circuits\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Advantage of Discrete Circuits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA discrete circuit is composed of electronic components which are disparate, individual devices, also called discrete components. These can be “passive” components, like resistors, capacitors and inductors, as well as “active” components, which in our case are transistors. The opposite to this would be an integrated circuit, which uses operational amplifiers (Op-Amps) in the signal chain. In our industry we employ specialised Op-Amps built for audio applications, which allow us to produce very small and efficient electronics, as well as saving the time of design engineers. However, countless hours of listening tests and years of experience have shown us that even the very best Op-Amps do not tend to be so neutral, natural, dynamic or vivid – all of which are characteristics of the Musical Fidelity “sound”. For that reason, we’re rediscovering our passion for traditional, discrete designs. Where standard phono pre-amplifiers with integrated circuits have a few tens or hundreds of components, discrete designs will employ hundreds or thousands of components by comparison. That makes for an extended design process, but in our opinion results in the best sound for your money. The unit features three separate, independently selectable cartridge inputs. This allows choice between three different turntables, or multiple tone arm configurations if required. Selectable gain is provided to allow for different cartridge sensitivities and ton suit any equipment. Cartridge type and loading is selected by front selector buttons for optimum cartridge performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMaking Way For Pure Music\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe true point of any electronic, actually any audio component, is that you don‘t know it is there. You completely forget its existance. By that criteria the M6x Vinyl is almost perfect. It has no practical audible noise, it doesn‘t really have distortion, you cannot overload its input or output, you can load your cartridge perfectly. It exists to serve the music.

Built around a newly developed coreless twin-rotor direct drive motor, a three-layer heavyweight platter individually balanced at the factory, a high-sensitivity cold-drawn magnesium gimbal tonearm, and a four-layer cabinet, the SL-1200G delivers the engineering precision and rotational stability of the professional SP-10 lineage in a complete, fully integrated turntable system. For vinyl listeners who want Grand Class performance in the classic silver SL-1200 aesthetic, the SL-1200G is the definitive choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCoreless Direct Drive Motor with Twin-Rotor Construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConventional direct drive turntables are subject to two fundamental problems: cogging, the magnetic reluctance effect caused by an iron core in the motor rotor, and minute rotational vibrations that subtly degrade the signal the stylus retrieves from the groove. The SL-1200G eliminates both. Its newly developed coreless direct drive motor removes the iron core entirely, eliminating cogging and producing inherently smoother, more uniform rotation. The twin-rotor construction maintains high starting torque while simultaneously reducing bearing load and suppressing the fine vibrations that iron-core motors generate. Blu-ray-derived motor control technology further refines performance by switching drive mode according to the operational status of the motor, achieving both a starting torque of 3.3 kg·cm and sustained wow and flutter of 0.025% W.R.M.S. The result is the warm, exquisitely detailed sound embedded in analogue records, retrieved with a precision that conventional direct drive designs cannot match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThree-Layer Platter with Factory Balance Adjustment\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SL-1200G's platter rigidly bonds a brass weight to an aluminium die-cast body and covers the entire rear surface with deadening rubber, forming a three-layer assembly whose rotational inertial mass exceeds the SP-10MK2 — the direct drive reference of professional broadcast stations worldwide — and more than doubles the inertial mass of the SL-1200MK5. Every platter is individually balanced after assembly on Technics' specialised high-precision factory balance adjustment equipment. Any weight distribution irregularity in a rotating platter generates vibration and noise that degrade playback quality; the factory balancing process eliminates this variable entirely.

The SL-1200GR2 is the more accessible Grand Class model with refined but less elaborate construction. The SL-1200G represents the higher level of engineering and materials within the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does eliminating cogging actually mean for vinyl playback?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCogging is the subtle speed irregularity caused by the magnetic attraction between the rotor poles and the iron core in a conventional direct drive motor. It creates periodic micro-variations in rotational speed that smear fine musical detail and affect the timing accuracy of bass lines, percussion, and pitch-sensitive instruments like piano. The SL-1200G's coreless motor eliminates the iron core entirely, removing cogging as a source of error and allowing the stylus to retrieve the full detail and timing accuracy embedded in the groove.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Technics SL-1200G include a cartridge?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The SL-1200G includes a headshell, balance weights, overhang gauge, PHONO cable, earth lead, and dust cover, but no cartridge. Contact Vinyl Sound Toronto for cartridge recommendations matched to your phono stage and musical preferences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the SL-1200G require an external phono preamplifier?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The SL-1200G outputs a standard PHONO-level RCA signal and includes an earth terminal. An external phono preamplifier compatible with your chosen cartridge type is required.

magnetic path, which helps reduce the amount of iron in the record cartridge, keeping the weight down to just 5.5 g. Rigidity is also of prime importance and the Pocan body of the cartridge enables it to be clamped solidly to the headshell, keeping energy losses to an absolute minimum. This cartridge uses a Gyger II line contact stylus with a low output which means it must be used with an amplifier which features a dedicated moving coil phono input.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote

For MM (moving magnet) use, the input capacitance has been trimmed to give the flatest response curve for many of the new breed of high-performance moving magnets and moving irons on the market today.  In MM mode the whestTHREE signature will easily ‘see off’ the competition even if the competition is running a 1500 EUR MC cartridge.  This is because apart from the trimmed input stage, the whestTHREE Signature also employs an ‘elevated power rail’ section unseen in a phono stage in this price range.  This gives a greater dynamic performance as well as lower noise specs for ‘earth shattering’ micro detail resolving power. Given a great MM cartridge, in MM mode the whestTHREE is spectacular.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor listening in MM mode we used the Ortofon 2M Black, Goldring 2500, Grado Reference 1 Phono and Audio Technica VM760SLC  AT440 MLA, Rega Exact and the 2014 Roksan Corus Silver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClass-A output stage\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eLike all Whest Audio phono stages, the whestTHREE also employs a fully discrete Class-A high output current output stage. This coupled with the omission of an output capacitor means that the output from the unit is directly coupled to the following preamplifier. Even the very best ‘audiophile grade’ output capacitor would degrade the performance of whestTHREE output quality which is why the design ensures a far higher level of performance than what is normally expected at this price level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBalanced outputs\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe whestTHREE Signature comes as standard fitted with true balanced outputs which are fed from the output of the Class-A stage.

The HVDM (high voltage dual-mono) power supply utilises a ‘whest designed’ extremely low mechanical noise high current toroid transformer.  Unlike most other manufacturers today who use ‘off-the-shelf’ transformers to save on cost which also has a negative impact on audio quality, the HVDMs transformer has been designed in-house by whest audio for ultra low noise and low signal level use.  Low mechanical noise means less noise on the power rails and with ‘specific secondary outputs’ means the all important audio circuits in the whestTHREE Signature sees only what it ‘needs’ to see.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCabling\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eTo connect the whestTHREE Signature to the HVDM power supply, Whest Audio had designed 2 special XLR cables capable of handling currents far higher that what is required for the whestTHREE Signature head unit.

Getting higher resolution from a phono stage and vinyl is much like getting higher resolution from an MRI scanner used in the medical field.  The reason why today’s MRI scanners are so much better than their early cousins is because of more processing power\/ more electronics.  A modern MRI machine has hundreds of times the processing power of its distant cousin.  The same goes for our phono stages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe outgoing and multi-award winning 30 Series was a class leader in its price range for the whole time it was in production and still outperforms the latest products the competition have to offer!  It had amazing noise figures, class leading soundstage and musicality and it did this all in one neat package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 40 Series adds several layers of extra dimensional ‘space’ with greater instrument-harmonic resolution, ‘life like’ musicality and a ‘microscopic type’ of focus that the 30 Series electronics was incapable of.   The only way we found we could achieve this was to borrow much of the technology and ideas from the TITAN Pro which was designed to be the very best single box phono stage in the world, which it has accomplished, so we felt ‘why not just scale it down’ and use the essential parts to bring the TITAN Pro’s high-resolution sound to a market place that REALLY needs it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new 40 Series pushes the boundaries of what is capable at this price level.  No other phono stage in the world at this price range has the abilities of the 40

suspension system used in the MC REF V Mk4.  The combination of this suspension system and ultra strong chassis means that all unwanted vibrations from airborne or structure sources are very well

now trimmed to a far tighter tolerance for both curve and channel matching.  Channel matching now is to within 0.12dB and RIAA curve accuracy to 0.15dB.  Both these figures are across a bandwidth with spans from 9Hz and 62KHz.  Any non-Whest Audio phono stage would be at least 4-6dB down at these extremes, but having experience in pro-audio, vinyl cutting and mastering means we at Whest Audio know

with Fender Musical Instruments (Scottsdale, Arizona, USA), available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada. This landmark collaboration brings together Fender's California hand-sprayed three-color sunburst finish — the same iconic livery that first appeared on the Stratocaster and Telecaster in the 1950s — with MoFi Electronics' audiophile-grade engineering on a hand-selected real alder-wood plinth.

The gimbaled bearing architecture provides rock-solid lateral and vertical stability with minimal friction, allowing the stylus to track groove modulations accurately without the setup sensitivity of a unipivot design. An 18mm overhang and a 22.8-degree offset angle — adjustable plus or minus 2 degrees — optimize stylus geometry across the playing surface for minimum tracking error, and the arm accommodates cartridges weighing between 5g and 10g. Internal signal wiring is supplied by Cardas Audio, whose litz copper conductors carry the low-level cartridge output from the headshell leads through to gold-plated RCA output connectors, preserving signal purity at every point in the chain between stylus and phono stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFender Alder-Wood Plinth, Delrin Platter, and Inverted Bearing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe plinth of the American Vintage is crafted from hand-selected real alder wood — the same species Fender's master builders have used for Stratocaster and Telecaster bodies since the 1950s — chosen not only for its visual character but for its natural tonal resonance properties, which provide a warm, organically damped foundation for the precision bearing and tonearm above. Each plinth receives Fender's California hand-sprayed three-color sunburst finish, the same process used on Fender's American Vintage guitar series, making every unit subtly unique. The 6.8-lb Delrin platter sits on a hardened-steel inverted bearing system combining steel, bronze, and sapphire contact surfaces held to extremely low tolerances for smooth, quiet rotation and long-term stability. Delrin — an acetal resin developed by DuPont — is chosen for its highly crystalline molecular structure, which presents an acoustic impedance closely matched to vinyl, effectively dissipating groove-generated noise into the platter mass rather than allowing it to re-radiate through the stylus. An electronically regulated belt-drive motor mounted on Harmonic Resolution Systems anti-vibration feet isolates the plinth and tonearm from motor-borne and floor-borne vibration, and a hinged smoked amber acrylic dust cover completes the package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFender Three-Color Sunburst Alder-Wood

turntable co-created by Mobile Fidelity Electronics and Fender Musical Instruments, designed and manufactured in the USA. It features a hand-selected real alder-wood plinth with Fender's California hand-sprayed three-color sunburst finish, MoFi's 10-inch Ultra Tonearm with Cardas Audio wiring, a 6.8-lb Delrin platter on a hardened-steel inverted bearing, and Harmonic Resolution Systems anti-vibration feet. It plays 33.3 and 45 RPM records via push-button electronic speed switching and is available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the American Vintage compare to the Pro-Ject Debut Carbon EVO and the Audio-Technica AT-LP7?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MoFi x Fender American Vintage occupies a substantially higher technical and material tier than both competitors. Against the Pro-Ject Debut Carbon EVO, which uses an 8.6-inch carbon-fiber tonearm, a felt-mat aluminum platter, and a basic DC motor without active speed regulation, the American Vintage counters with a longer 10-inch gimbaled Ultra Tonearm for reduced tracking error, a heavier 6.8-lb Delrin platter for greater rotational stability and lower noise floor, Cardas Audio internal wiring versus the Debut's standard copper, and HRS isolation feet in place of basic rubber feet. Against the Audio-Technica AT-LP7, a fully manual direct-drive design with a J-shaped tonearm and aluminum platter, the American Vintage differs fundamentally in drive topology, using a precision belt-drive system to isolate the motor from the bearing and tonearm, a 10-inch straight arm geometry for lower distortion at the outer and inner groove, and a collaboratively crafted alder-wood plinth that no production Audio-Technica model approaches in material quality or finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the American Vintage turntable include a cartridge?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MoFi x Fender American Vintage is sold without a cartridge pre-installed, allowing the buyer to select a cartridge matched to their phono stage and listening preferences. The 10-inch Ultra Tonearm accepts cartridges weighing between 5g and 10g, covering a wide range of moving-magnet and lighter moving-coil designs. MoFi Electronics' own cartridge lineup — including the UltraGold and UltraTracker moving-magnet models — is voiced to complement the American Vintage's tonearm and Delrin platter, and Vinyl Sound in Toronto can advise on compatible cartridge pairings for the system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is Delrin and why does MoFi use it for the platter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDelrin is an acetal resin polymer developed by DuPont, characterized by a highly crystalline molecular structure that gives it a specific acoustic impedance closely matched to vinyl. In a turntable context, this impedance match means that groove-generated vibrations passing from the record into the platter surface are efficiently absorbed and dissipated as heat rather than reflected back through the stylus as noise. The result is a lower noise floor and blacker sonic backgrounds compared to platters made from aluminum or glass, which reflect rather than absorb acoustic energy. The 6.8-lb mass of the American Vintage's Delrin platter adds further rotational stability and resistance to speed perturbations caused by stylus drag during dynamic passages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does the Harmonic Resolution Systems isolation do on the American Vintage?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Harmonic Resolution Systems anti-vibration feet beneath the American Vintage decouple the alder-wood plinth and tonearm from mechanical energy arriving through the supporting surface — including footfall, floor resonance, and acoustic feedback from loudspeakers in the listening room. Any vibration that reaches the platter or tonearm is picked up by the stylus as spurious signal, masking low-level musical detail and raising the noise floor. The HRS feet prevent this energy transfer at the point of contact between turntable and furniture, ensuring the stylus responds only to the groove modulations in the record rather than to the acoustic environment around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the MoFi x Fender American Vintage turntable in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MoFi x Fender American Vintage turntable is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorized Mobile Fidelity Electronics dealer in Toronto, Canada. Vinyl Sound carries the American Vintage alongside the full MoFi Electronics turntable and electronics lineup, and can assist customers in the Toronto area and across Canada with cartridge matching, phono stage pairing, and system setup advice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat phono stage works best with the American Vintage?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe American Vintage's 10-inch Ultra Tonearm with Cardas Audio wiring outputs a clean, low-noise signal that rewards pairing with a quality phono stage matched to the chosen cartridge. For moving-magnet cartridges, MoFi Electronics' own MasterPhono preamplifier offers voiced compatibility with the American Vintage's signal chain and supports both MM and MC loading. Third-party options from manufacturers including Parasound, Pro-Ject, and Sutherland also pair well depending on cartridge output level and budget. Vinyl Sound in Toronto can recommend phono stage pairings tailored to the complete system being assembled around the American Vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the three-color sunburst finish on every American Vintage identical?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, and that is by design. The three-color sunburst finish on the American Vintage is applied by hand in California using the same spraying process Fender uses on its American Vintage guitar series, meaning each plinth receives a slightly unique application of the burst gradient and interacts differently with the individual grain pattern of the hand-selected alder wood beneath. This means no two American Vintage turntables are visually identical, giving each unit a degree of individuality that mass-finished products cannot offer and reinforcing the instrument-grade craftsmanship philosophy shared by both Fender and MoFi Electronics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mobile Fidelity","offers":[{"title":"American Vintage","offer_id":48262405325052,"sku":"MF-PDT-LE-1","price":4299.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"American Vintage + M","offer_id":48262405357820,"sku":"MF-PDT-LE-2","price":4995.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"American Vintage + UG","offer_id":48262405390588,"sku":"MF-PDT-LE-3","price":5795.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/files\/MoFi_Electronics_Fender_American_Vintage_Turntable_Left.webp?v=1760727938"},{"product_id":"acoustic-solid-solid-110-metal-turntable","title":"Acoustic Solid - Solid 110 Metal Polished Turntable","description":"\u003ch1\u003eAcoustic Solid Solid 110 Metal Polished Turntable at Vinyl Sound Toronto Canada\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*Package 1 contains WTB-370 Tonearm Only!

The 50 mm base carrier plate and feet are machined from solid aluminum and decoupled from the chassis via special Teflon discs and silicone mixture dampers. The stainless steel bearing axle is housed in a cast liner and cast bearing bottom, itself damped and decoupled with additional Teflon discs, with a polished ceramic ball at the contact point for smooth, low-friction rotation. Height adjustment is provided through threaded spikes decoupled by felt feet, giving the Solid 110 Metal a stable, level foundation on any surface. The acoustically optimized drive shape of the chassis is not merely cosmetic — it is engineered to minimize the transmission of structural vibration to the platter and stylus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMicrocontroller M2 Motor Control\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpeed accuracy on the Solid 110 Metal is governed by Acoustic Solid's Microcontroller M2 system with quartz crystal oscillator, delivering a synchronization figure of 0.08% as measured with an Ortofon measuring computer.

Weighing 19 kg without tonearm, it is a step above the Solid 110 Metal in platter mass, chassis weight, and rotational stability, available in two tonearm configurations with no cartridge included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between the Acoustic Solid Solid 110 Metal and the Solid 111 Metal?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Solid 111 Metal upgrades the Solid 110 Metal in three key areas: platter mass increases from 6 kg to 7 kg, platter thickness increases from 30 mm to 35 mm, and total chassis weight increases from 12 kg to 19 kg. These changes deliver greater rotational inertia, improved resistance to stylus drag, and enhanced mechanical isolation from external vibration. The motor control system, bearing assembly, Berger Lahr motor, and Teflon-silicone decoupling philosophy are shared across both models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Acoustic Solid Solid 111 Metal compare to the Thorens TD 1601 or VPI Scout Master?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Solid 111 Metal competes with the Thorens TD 1601 and VPI Scout Master in the serious analog front-end category. The Thorens TD 1601 uses a suspended sub-chassis design with an SME-compatible tonearm mount, while the VPI Scout Master relies on a heavy MDF and aluminum plinth with a unipivot tonearm. The Solid 111 Metal differentiates itself through its full all-aluminum unsuspended construction, significantly heavier 19 kg chassis, and quartz-locked Microcontroller M2 speed control — an approach that prioritizes mechanical mass and material rigidity over suspension-based isolation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Acoustic Solid Solid 111 Metal come with a cartridge?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Both Package 1 (WTB-370 tonearm) and Package 2 (WTB-213 tonearm) are supplied without a cartridge, allowing the buyer to select a cartridge suited to their phono stage, system character, and budget. Vinyl Sound Toronto can advise on cartridge pairing for either tonearm configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Acoustic Solid Solid 111 Metal in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Acoustic Solid Solid 111 Metal is available in Toronto, Canada at Vinyl Sound, an authorized Acoustic Solid dealer. Vinyl Sound's team can assist with tonearm package selection, cartridge recommendations, phono stage matching, and full setup support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat phono stage does the Acoustic Solid Solid 111 Metal require?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Solid 111 Metal requires an external phono stage, as none is built into the turntable. The correct phono stage depends on the cartridge chosen — a moving magnet cartridge requires an MM phono input, while a moving coil cartridge requires an MC stage with appropriate gain and impedance loading. Vinyl Sound can recommend compatible phono stage options to complete the analog front end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Acoustic Solid","offers":[{"title":"Turntable Only (No Tonearm or Cartridge) \/ Polished","offer_id":42653044605180,"sku":"AS-SOLID111-P","price":4500.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Turntable Only (No Tonearm or Cartridge) \/ Aluminum Matte Finish","offer_id":42653072589052,"sku":"AS-SOLID111-AM","price":4500.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"*Turntable Package \/ Polished","offer_id":42653044637948,"sku":"AS-SOLID111-P-P","price":5000.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"*Turntable Package \/ Aluminum Matte Finish","offer_id":42653072621820,"sku":"AS-SOLID111-P-AM","price":5000.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/products\/as-aluminum-solid-111-metal-VINYLSOUND.jpg?v=1646471548"},{"product_id":"acoustic-solid-solid-311-metal-turntable","title":"Acoustic Solid - Solid 311 Metal Turntable","description":"\u003ch1\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAcoustic Solid - Solid 311 Metal Turntable\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePackage 1 contains WTB-370 Tonearm Only!

Built on the same all-aluminum chassis architecture as the Solid 110 Metal, the 311 Metal introduces a critical engineering distinction: a \u003cstrong\u003edual-belt drive system\u003c\/strong\u003e using two Nylon-silicone belts driving a \u003cstrong\u003e6 kg, 30 mm thick CNC-machined aluminum platter\u003c\/strong\u003e, paired with a high-gloss aluminum motor housing that integrates the Berger Lahr synchronous motor and Microcontroller M2 quartz crystal control into a single unit. Speed synchronization is measured at \u003cstrong\u003e0.08%\u003c\/strong\u003e with an Ortofon measuring computer, with one-touch 33.3 and 45 rpm switching and real-time fine adjustment.

Where the Solid 110 and 111 Metal use a single Nylon-silicone belt, the 311 Metal employs two belts running simultaneously from the motor to the platter. This arrangement distributes drive force more evenly around the platter circumference, reduces the lateral load on the bearing from belt tension, and further isolates motor-induced micro-vibration from the platter. The result is a more consistent transfer of rotational energy and a lower noise floor at the stylus-groove interface, without increasing platter mass or chassis footprint beyond the 110 Metal's dimensions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIntegrated Motor and Controller Housing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike the Solid 110 Metal where the motor and controller are separate, the Solid 311 Metal integrates the Berger Lahr synchronous motor and the Microcontroller M2 quartz crystal oscillator into a single high-gloss aluminum housing. This consolidated design shortens the signal path between controller and motor, reduces external wiring, and presents a cleaner, more unified aesthetic on the listening room shelf. The Microcontroller M2 maintains 0.08% synchronization accuracy, with both 33.3 and 45 rpm selectable at the touch of a button and fine adjustment available at any time during playback. The 50 mm base carrier plate and feet remain fully decoupled via Teflon discs and silicone mixture dampers, with height adjustment through threaded spikes on felt feet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual-Belt Drive:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two Nylon-silicone belts drive the platter

Metal?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Acoustic Solid Solid 311 Metal is a belt-drive turntable from Acoustic Solid of Germany, featuring a dual-belt drive system, a 6 kg CNC-machined aluminum platter, and an integrated high-gloss aluminum housing combining the Berger Lahr synchronous motor and Microcontroller M2 quartz crystal speed control. It weighs 12 kg without tonearm and is available in two tonearm configurations with no cartridge included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between the Acoustic Solid Solid 110 Metal and the Solid 311 Metal?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Solid 311 Metal and Solid 110 Metal share the same platter mass, chassis dimensions, and base carrier plate specification. The 311 Metal's key upgrade is its dual-belt drive system, which replaces the single belt of the 110 Metal with two parallel Nylon-silicone belts for more even torque distribution and lower bearing lateral load. The 311 Metal also integrates the Microcontroller M2 and Berger Lahr motor into a single high-gloss aluminum housing, where the 110 Metal keeps these as separate units.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Acoustic Solid Solid 311 Metal compare to the Clearaudio Concept or Pro-Ject RPM 9 Carbon?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Solid 311 Metal sits in a similar tier to the Clearaudio Concept and Pro-Ject RPM 9 Carbon as a serious analog front end with precision motor control. The Clearaudio Concept uses a magnetic bearing and single belt, while the Pro-Ject RPM 9 Carbon features a carbon fiber tonearm and single-belt AC synchronous motor. The Solid 311 Metal differentiates itself through its dual-belt drive architecture, full all-aluminum unsuspended construction, and integrated quartz-locked motor controller — a combination not offered as standard by either competitor at this level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy does the Solid 311 Metal use two belts instead of one?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dual-belt system on the Solid 311 Metal distributes the drive force from the Berger Lahr motor across two contact points on the platter circumference rather than one. This reduces the net lateral force on the platter bearing from belt tension, lowers the transmission of motor-induced micro-vibration to the platter, and delivers more consistent rotational energy transfer — all contributing to a lower noise floor and more stable speed under stylus load compared to a single-belt arrangement of equivalent tension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Acoustic Solid Solid 311 Metal come with a cartridge?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Both Package 1 (WTB-370 tonearm) and Package 2 (WTB-213 tonearm) are supplied without a cartridge, allowing the buyer to select a cartridge that best suits their phono stage, system character, and budget.

This triple-belt arrangement distributes rotational force across three equidistant contact points on the platter circumference, further reducing net lateral bearing load and minimizing motor-induced micro-vibration at the stylus interface. The result is a synchronization figure of 0.06% — the tightest speed accuracy in the Acoustic Solid Metal series — governed by the Microcontroller M2 quartz crystal oscillator with real-time fine adjustment at both 33.3 and 45 rpm, selectable without stopping playback.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e35 mm Aluminum Plinth with Triple Tonearm Capability\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Solid Machine's 35 mm thick aluminum plinth is the structural foundation for a turntable built without compromise.

The plinth is machined with provision for three separate tonearm mounting bases as standard — a configuration that allows the simultaneous use of three different tonearms and cartridge combinations without any modification or additional hardware. The stainless steel bearing axle sits in a cast liner and cast bearing bottom, itself Teflon-decoupled, with a polished ceramic ball at the contact point. The 12.5 kg platter is dressed with a genuine leather mat and a 5 mm Plexiglas pad — thicker than the 3 mm pad used on the rest of the Metal series — for optimal record contact and additional mass at

Machine?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Acoustic Solid Solid Machine is the flagship belt-drive turntable from Acoustic Solid of Germany, featuring a triple-belt Berger Lahr synchronous motor drive, a 12.5 kg, 60 mm thick CNC-machined aluminum platter, a 35 mm thick aluminum plinth with mounting provision for up to three tonearms, and Microcontroller M2 quartz crystal speed control achieving 0.06% synchronization. It weighs 35 kg without tonearm and is available in polished or matte finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Acoustic Solid Solid Machine compare to the Solid 311 Metal and Solid 111 Metal?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Solid Machine sits decisively above the Solid 311 Metal and Solid 111 Metal in every measurable specification. Platter mass increases from 6-7 kg to 12.5 kg, platter thickness doubles from 30-35 mm to 60 mm, total chassis weight rises to 35 kg, and the drive system upgrades from single or dual belt to a triple-belt configuration with a separately housed motor. Speed synchronization tightens from 0.08% to 0.06%, and the plinth gains provision for three simultaneous tonearm mounts — a capability absent from every other model in the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Acoustic Solid Solid Machine compare to the Clearaudio Statement or TechDAS Air Force III?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Solid Machine competes in the upper tier of serious reference turntables alongside the Clearaudio Statement and TechDAS Air Force III. Where the Clearaudio Statement uses a magnetic bearing and dual-motor drive, and the TechDAS Air Force III relies on an air bearing platter and vacuum hold-down, the Solid Machine takes a different approach: extreme mechanical mass, triple-belt torque distribution, and quartz-locked speed control without air pumps, vacuum systems, or magnetic levitation. For listeners who prefer a direct, purely mechanical approach to speed stability, the Machine presents a compelling alternative to air-bearing and magnetic-bearing reference designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the Acoustic Solid Solid Machine run three tonearms at once?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The Solid Machine's 35 mm aluminum plinth is machined with provision for three separate tonearm mounting bases as standard. This allows the simultaneous installation of three different tonearms, each fitted with a different cartridge, enabling instant switching between moving magnet, moving coil, or mono cartridge setups without removing or re-cueing a stylus. It is one of very few turntables at any level to offer triple tonearm capability without modification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Acoustic Solid Solid Machine come with a cartridge?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Both Package 1 (WTB-370 tonearm) and Package 2 (WTB-213 tonearm) are supplied without a cartridge, allowing the buyer to select cartridges suited to each tonearm, phono stage, and system character. Vinyl Sound Toronto can advise on cartridge pairing for any of the three tonearm positions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Acoustic Solid Solid Machine in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Acoustic Solid Solid Machine is available in Toronto, Canada at Vinyl Sound, an authorized Acoustic Solid dealer.

Small R?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Acoustic Solid Solid Machine Small R is a dual-belt string-drive turntable from Acoustic Solid of Germany, featuring a 10 kg, 50 mm thick single-billet aluminum platter, a 35 mm thick aluminum plinth with triple tonearm mounting capability, and the upgraded Microcontroller M3 quartz crystal speed control. It weighs 22 kg without tonearm, fits within the compact 310 x 310 mm footprint of the smaller Metal series models, and is available in polished or matte finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between the Acoustic Solid Solid Machine Small R and the Solid Machine?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Small R and the flagship Solid Machine share the same 35 mm aluminum plinth architecture, triple tonearm mounting capability, and separately housed motor concept. The Solid Machine steps above with a heavier 12.5 kg, 60 mm thick platter, a triple-belt drive system, and a tighter 0.06% synchronization figure. The Small R uses a 10 kg, 50 mm single-billet platter with dual-belt drive and achieves 0.08% synchronization, while introducing the upgraded M3 controller and fitting within a more compact 310 x 310 mm footprint — making it the entry point into Acoustic Solid's Machine-class architecture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the Microcontroller M3 and how does it differ from the M2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Microcontroller M3 is Acoustic Solid's upgraded motor control system introduced on the Solid Machine Small R, stepping above the M2 used across the Solid 110, 111, 311, and Brake models. Both use a quartz crystal oscillator as the speed reference and offer one-touch 33.3 and 45 rpm switching with real-time fine adjustment. The M3 represents a refined generation of the same control philosophy, with improved circuit implementation for more stable motor governance at the quartz reference frequency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the Acoustic Solid Solid Machine Small R run three tonearms simultaneously?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The Small R's 35 mm aluminum plinth includes provision for three separate tonearm mounting bases as standard, identical in capability to the flagship Solid Machine. This allows simultaneous installation of three tonearms with different cartridges — for example, a moving magnet, a moving coil, and a mono cartridge — enabling instant switching between setups without stylus changes or remounting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Acoustic Solid Solid Machine Small R come with a cartridge?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Both Package 1 (WTB-370 tonearm) and Package 2 (WTB-213 tonearm) are supplied without a cartridge, allowing the buyer to select cartridges suited to each tonearm and phono stage. Vinyl Sound Toronto can advise on cartridge pairing for any of the three tonearm positions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Acoustic Solid Solid Machine Small R in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Acoustic Solid Solid Machine Small R is available in Toronto, Canada at Vinyl Sound, an authorized Acoustic Solid dealer. Vinyl Sound's team can assist with tonearm package selection, cartridge recommendations, phono stage matching, and full setup support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Acoustic Solid","offers":[{"title":"Turntable Only (No Tonearm or Cartridge) \/ Polished","offer_id":42653190258940,"sku":"AS-SMSR-P","price":6500.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Turntable Only (No Tonearm or Cartridge) \/ Aluminum Matte Finish","offer_id":42653190291708,"sku":"AS-SMSR-AM","price":6500.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"*Turntable Package \/ Polished","offer_id":42653190324476,"sku":"AS-SMSR-P-P","price":7000.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"*Turntable Package \/ Aluminum Matte Finish","offer_id":42653190357244,"sku":"AS-SMSR-P-AM","price":7000.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/products\/as-aluminum-solid-machine-small-r-VINYLSOUND.jpg?v=1646473531"},{"product_id":"rega-planar-6-turntable","title":"Rega Planar 6 Turntable","description":"\u003ch2 bis_size='{\"x\":12,\"y\":9,\"w\":560,\"h\":29,\"abs_x\":621,\"abs_y\":271}'\u003e\u003cspan bis_size='{\"x\":12,\"y\":9,\"w\":235,\"h\":28,\"abs_x\":621,\"abs_y\":271}'\u003eRega Planar 6 Turntable\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp bis_size='{\"x\":12,\"y\":49,\"w\":560,\"h\":97,\"abs_x\":621,\"abs_y\":311}'\u003e\u003cspan bis_size='{\"x\":12,\"y\":49,\"w\":554,\"h\":97,\"abs_x\":621,\"abs_y\":311}'\u003eThe Planar 6 is constructed around a unique ultra-light foam core plinth and HPL laminates.

Built around a newly developed coreless direct drive motor with twin-rotor construction, a three-layer heavyweight platter individually balanced at the factory, a high-sensitivity magnesium gimbal tonearm, and a four-layer cabinet, the SL-1210G brings the engineering legacy of the professional SP-10 lineage to a complete, fully integrated turntable system. For vinyl listeners who want the precision and build quality of the Grand Class platform with the classic black aesthetic of the SL-1210 tradition, the SL-1210G is the definitive choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCoreless Direct Drive Motor with Twin-Rotor Construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConventional direct drive turntables suffer from two fundamental problems: cogging, the magnetic locking effect caused by an iron core in the motor, and minute rotational vibrations that degrade the signal retrieved by the stylus. The SL-1210G eliminates both. Its newly developed coreless direct drive motor removes the iron core entirely, eliminating cogging and producing smooth, uninterrupted rotation. The twin-rotor construction maintains high starting torque while simultaneously reducing the load on the bearing and suppressing the fine vibrations that iron-core motors inherently generate. Motor control technology derived from Technics' Blu-ray device engineering switches drive mode according to the operational status of the motor, achieving both high starting torque and high rotational speed stability from the same drive system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThree-Layer Platter with Factory Balance Adjustment\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SL-1210G's platter combines a rigidly bonded brass and aluminium die-cast construction with deadening rubber covering the entire rear surface, forming a three-layer assembly with rotational inertial mass that exceeds the SP-10MK2 — the direct drive standard of professional broadcast stations worldwide — and more than doubles the inertial mass of the SL-1200MK5. Every platter is individually balanced after assembly using Technics' specialised high-precision factory balance adjustment equipment. Units that have completed this process carry a BALANCED sticker as confirmation. Uneven weight distribution in a rotating platter causes excess vibration and noise; the factory balancing process eliminates this as a variable entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoreless Direct Drive Motor:\u003c\/strong\u003e No iron core means zero cogging and inherently smoother rotation than conventional direct drive designs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwin-Rotor Construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Maintains high torque while reducing bearing load and suppressing minute rotational vibrations simultaneously\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlu-ray-Derived Motor Control Technology:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adaptive drive mode switching achieves both high starting torque and sustained rotational speed stability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree-Layer Heavyweight Platter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brass and aluminium die-cast with full-surface deadening rubber; inertial mass exceeds the SP-10MK2 and more than doubles the SL-1200MK5\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndividual Factory Balance Adjustment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Every unit balanced on precision equipment after assembly; BALANCED sticker confirms the process has been completed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-Sensitivity Magnesium Gimbal Tonearm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cold-drawn lightweight magnesium arm tube; gimbal suspension with horizontal and vertical rotation axes intersecting at a single central point; high-precision cut-processed bearing housing for exceptional initial motion sensitivity\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFour-Layer Cabinet Construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aluminium die-cast, BMC, heavyweight rubber, and 10 mm hairline-finished aluminium top panel; combines maximum structural rigidity with a premium surface quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGold-Plated Brass-Milled Phono and Ground Terminals:\u003c\/strong\u003e Prevents signal degradation at the output stage; easy cable attachment and removal; internal metal shielding reduces susceptibility to external noise\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClassic SL-1210 Black Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e The traditional black aesthetic of the professional SL-1210 lineage, updated with Grand Class engineering and materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDrive Method\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDirect Drive\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMotor\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCoreless brushless DC; twin-rotor construction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePlatter Construction\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrass and aluminium die-cast combined; full-surface deadening rubber (3-layer)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTonearm\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStatic balance; gimbal suspension; cold-drawn magnesium arm tube\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCabinet Construction\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4-layer: aluminium die-cast, BMC, heavyweight rubber, 10 mm hairline aluminium top panel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePhono Terminals\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGold-plated brass-milled; internal metal shielding\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFinish\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDimensions (W x H x D)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17-27\/32\" x 6-13\/16\" x 14-21\/32\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 39.7 lbs \/ 18.0 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the Technics SL-1210G?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Technics SL-1210G is a Grand Class reference direct drive turntable featuring a coreless twin-rotor direct drive motor, a three-layer heavyweight platter with factory balance adjustment, a high-sensitivity cold-drawn magnesium gimbal tonearm, and a four-layer cabinet construction.

Designed by Allen Perkins — one of the most respected turntable engineers in the high-end audio industry and founder of Immedia — the MasterDeck is handcrafted in limited batches at MoFi's Ann Arbor factory and represents the most ambitious expression of Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab's decades-long commitment to faithful vinyl reproduction. At its core is a \u003cstrong\u003ethree-phase brushless DC synchronous motor\u003c\/strong\u003e with optical speed regulation, a \u003cstrong\u003e1.75-inch hybrid Aluminum-Delrin platter\u003c\/strong\u003e weighing 14.35 lbs, and an all-new \u003cstrong\u003e10-inch dual-pivot carbon-fiber tonearm\u003c\/strong\u003e with removable headshell and premium Cardas Audio internal wiring. The MasterDeck supports 33.3, 45, and 78 RPM playback with fine-speed trim adjustment and rides on Harmonic Resolution Systems isolation feet engineered to provide 5.5 degrees of vibration freedom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e10-Inch Dual-Pivot Carbon-Fiber Tonearm with Cardas Audio Wiring\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MasterDeck's tonearm is a purpose-designed 10-inch dual-pivot carbon-fiber assembly that combines the low-friction bearing characteristics of a unipivot with the lateral stability of a gimbal, resulting in a hybrid unipivot\/gimbal architecture that tracks demanding groove modulations with exceptional precision and composure. Carbon fiber is used throughout the arm tube for its high stiffness-to-mass ratio, keeping the structure rigid against vibration while minimizing the added mass that would otherwise reduce tracking ability at the headshell. A removable headshell allows straightforward cartridge swapping and azimuth optimization without tools, and the arm provides full adjustment of vertical tracking angle, overhang, and anti-skate to accommodate cartridges weighing between 5g and 14g. Internal wiring is supplied by Cardas Audio, a specialist in audiophile-grade litz copper conductors, ensuring that the low-level signal from the cartridge reaches the phono stage with minimum coloration and electrical interference. An 18mm overhang and 22.8-degree offset angle place the stylus on a geometry optimized for the 10-inch effective length, minimizing tracking error across the playing surface of both standard LPs and 78 RPM shellacs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePrecision Motor, Platter, and Bearing System\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MasterDeck is driven by a three-phase brushless DC synchronous motor mounted in an isolated sub-chassis to prevent mechanical noise and vibration from reaching the platter bearing or tonearm. An optical sensor monitors platter rotation in real time and feeds corrections back to the motor controller, maintaining speed accuracy across all three playback rates — 33.3, 45, and 78 RPM — with a fine trim adjustment that allows users to dial in exact speed for individual records or cartridge compliance requirements. The 14.35-lb platter is machined from aluminum and coated with Delrin, an acetal resin chosen for its self-damping properties and acoustic impedance that couples efficiently to vinyl while absorbing platter resonance that would otherwise color playback. The platter spins on an Encapsulated Spiral Groove Inverted Bearing, a precision-machined system in which the spindle is fixed to the plinth and the bearing housing rotates around it, shifting the load-bearing contact point to minimize friction, reduce wear over decades of use, and produce an exceptionally smooth and stable rotational characteristic. The entire assembly sits on Harmonic Resolution Systems isolation feet that provide 5.5 degrees of mechanical freedom, effectively decoupling the MasterDeck from floor-borne vibration and acoustic feedback that would otherwise modulate the stylus in the groove.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandcrafted in the

turntable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MasterDeck is a reference-grade belt-drive turntable from Mobile Fidelity Electronics, handcrafted in limited batches in Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA, and designed by Allen Perkins. It features a three-phase brushless DC synchronous motor with optical speed regulation, a 14.35-lb hybrid Aluminum-Delrin platter, a 10-inch dual-pivot carbon-fiber tonearm with Cardas Audio internal wiring, and Harmonic Resolution Systems isolation feet. It plays 33.3, 45, and 78 RPM records with precision fine-speed trim adjustment, and is available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the MasterDeck compare to the Rega Planar 10 and the Clearaudio Concept?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MasterDeck occupies a distinct position relative to both competitors. Against the Rega Planar 10, which uses a lightweight skeletal plinth philosophy, a hand-selected low-noise AC motor, and Rega's RB Apheta-matched tonearm, the MasterDeck counters with a far heavier 14.35-lb Aluminum-Delrin platter for greater rotational stability, an optically regulated brushless DC motor for active speed correction rather than passive AC frequency dependence, and HRS isolation feet that address floor-borne vibration at a level the Rega's lightweight construction cannot match. Against the Clearaudio Concept, a belt-drive design with a magnetic bearing and Clearaudio's Concept tonearm, the MasterDeck offers a 10-inch arm versus the Concept's typically shorter geometry, a more complex inverted bearing system, three-speed 78 RPM capability, and the prestige of limited-batch USA manufacture by a designer of Allen Perkins' standing. Neither competitor combines optically regulated brushless DC drive, HRS isolation, a 10-inch carbon-fiber dual-pivot arm with Cardas wiring, and 78 RPM support in a single handcrafted package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the dual-pivot tonearm design on the MasterDeck?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dual-pivot tonearm on the MasterDeck is a hybrid unipivot\/gimbal design in which the arm pivots on two bearing points rather than one. A conventional unipivot arm balances on a single point, giving it exceptional freedom of movement and low bearing friction but requiring careful setup to prevent lateral instability. A gimbal arm uses two or more bearing points for rock-solid lateral control but can introduce bearing friction. The MasterDeck's dual-pivot architecture combines both approaches, achieving the low-friction, free-moving character of a unipivot in the vertical plane with the lateral stability of a gimbal in the horizontal plane. The result is a tonearm that tracks groove modulations with precision and composure across both axes without the setup sensitivity of a pure unipivot design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does the Harmonic Resolution Systems isolation do on the MasterDeck?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Harmonic Resolution Systems isolation feet beneath the MasterDeck are purpose-engineered vibration control devices that provide 5.5 degrees of mechanical freedom between the turntable chassis and the supporting surface. This means the feet absorb and dissipate energy arriving from the floor — footfall, low-frequency room modes, and acoustic feedback from speakers — across multiple axes simultaneously rather than in a single plane. In a vinyl playback context, any mechanical energy that reaches the platter or tonearm modulates the stylus in the groove and adds spurious low-level noise to the signal. The HRS feet prevent this energy from reaching the MasterDeck's precision bearing and tonearm, preserving the low-level detail and dynamic range that the MoFi MasterDeck's engineering is designed to retrieve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the MasterDeck play 78 RPM records?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the MasterDeck supports 78 RPM playback in addition to 33.3 and 45 RPM. A three-position speed selector switches between all three formats, and a precision fine-trim adjustment allows exact speed calibration for individual records. Playing 78 RPM shellac records at correct speed requires a dedicated 78 RPM stylus with a larger tip radius than a standard LP stylus, so a compatible cartridge or a second headshell fitted with a 78-appropriate stylus is recommended. The MasterDeck's removable headshell makes switching between a standard LP cartridge and a 78 RPM setup straightforward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the MoFi Electronics MasterDeck in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MoFi Electronics MasterDeck turntable is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorized Mobile Fidelity Electronics dealer in Toronto, Canada. Vinyl Sound carries the MasterDeck alongside the full MoFi Electronics source component lineup and can arrange a demonstration for customers in the Toronto area and across Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat cartridge should I use with the MasterDeck?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MasterDeck tonearm accommodates cartridges weighing between 5g and 14g, covering the majority of high-performance moving-magnet and moving-coil cartridges currently available. MoFi Electronics produces its own cartridge lineup — including the UltraGold and UltraTracker moving-magnet designs and the UltraSilver moving-coil — each of which is voiced to complement the MasterDeck's neutral, high-resolution character. The removable headshell and full azimuth, VTA, overhang, and anti-skate adjustability allow precise alignment of any compatible cartridge to extract maximum performance from the MasterDeck's precision bearing and motor system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat phono stage pairs well with the MasterDeck?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MasterDeck is a reference-grade source component and performs best when paired with a phono stage of matching quality. MoFi Electronics offers the MasterPhono preamplifier, designed specifically to complement the MasterDeck's signal chain and voiced to preserve the low-noise, high-resolution output of both moving-magnet and moving-coil cartridges. Third-party phono stages from manufacturers such as Pass Labs, EAR Yoshino, and Parasound also pair well with the MasterDeck depending on cartridge choice, and Vinyl Sound in Toronto can advise on system-matched phono stage options for customers building around the MasterDeck.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mobile Fidelity","offers":[{"title":"MasterDeck Turntable + No Cartridge \/ Black","offer_id":44847321350396,"sku":"MF-MDT-B","price":8495.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"MasterDeck Turntable + No Cartridge \/ Walnut","offer_id":44847372271868,"sku":"MF-MDT-W","price":8495.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"MasterDeck Turntable +Ultra Gold MC Cartridge \/ Black","offer_id":44847321383164,"sku":"MF-MDT-UGC-B","price":9995.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"MasterDeck Turntable +Ultra Gold MC Cartridge \/ Walnut","offer_id":44847372304636,"sku":"MF-MDT-UGC-W","price":9995.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/files\/MOBILEFEDILITYMASTERDECKTURNTABLE_VINYLSOUND.png?v=1709615447"},{"product_id":"acoustic-solid-vantage-full-exclusive","title":"Acoustic Solid - Vantage Full Exclusive","description":"\u003ch1\u003eACOUSTIC SOLID VANTAGE FULL EXCLUSIVE\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Vintage models would not be Acoustic Solid products if they did not also offer an outstanding sound.

machined Delrin platter. Delrin is the material of choice for multiple reasons. The material properties of Delrin and Vinyl records are very similar, resulting in near perfect coupling and therefore minimizing mechanical vibrations. Furthermore, the density of Delrin is higher than that of Acrylic, increasing the mass of the platter, which increases speed stability thereby reducing wow and flutter. Finally, the elegant look of the Delrin platter is the “cherry on the cake” for the level 3.1.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"heading.default\" data-settings='{\"_animation\":\"none\"}' data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"8626d8e\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8626d8e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"\u003eSolidwood\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\" data-settings='{\"_animation\":\"pulse\"}' data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"efc7e65\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-efc7e65 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor animated pulse\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe level 3.1 plinth is constructed from carefully selected solid wood enclosed by two Acrylic layers.

It must be both extremely rigid and completely free-moving. Any unwanted flex, resonance, or friction directly affects sound quality. The Takumi level 2.1DC tonearm is designed to avoid these issues through careful material choices and mechanical precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe armtube is made from thin-walled titanium.

Released to commemorate Technics' 60th anniversary, the SL-1210GME is the final and most technically advanced version of the SL-1200G and SL-1210G platform — a strictly limited worldwide production run of \u003cstrong\u003e1,210 units in Black\u003c\/strong\u003e and 1,200 units in Silver. Every advancement developed across a decade of Technics engineering has been incorporated: a coreless twin-rotor direct drive motor with Reference Class stator reinforcement, an upgraded Delta Sigma Drive pushing PWM frequency above 20 kHz, a Multi-Stage Silent Power Supply derived from the reference SL-1000R, and a gold-painted magnesium tonearm with serial number plate. This is the definitive SL-1210G.

The SL-1210G, launched in 2016, brought the platform to a new level of precision and musicality. The SL-1210GME Master Edition takes every refinement made since 2016 and combines them for the first time in a single, final model. The coreless twin-rotor direct drive motor uses a stator board reinforced following the same pattern as the Reference Class SP-10R and SL-1000R. The Delta Sigma Drive's PWM carrier frequency has been expanded from approximately 2 kHz to over 20 kHz, eliminating motor-generated micro-vibrations from the audible range entirely. A four-layer PCB with separated power and ground lines for motor, digital, and LED circuits further improves electrical isolation and board rigidity.

The black hairline-finished aluminium top panel and four-layer cabinet construction provide the visual authority expected of a final edition, while the gold accents make clear that this is not simply a standard model in a box.

Commemorating Technics' 60th anniversary, the SL-1200GME represents the final and most advanced iteration of the beloved SL-1200G and SL-1210G series — a limited worldwide production run of \u003cstrong\u003e1,200 units in Silver\u003c\/strong\u003e and 1,210 units in Black. Every innovation developed over the last decade of Technics engineering has been incorporated into this single model: a reworked coreless direct drive motor with Reference Class stator board reinforcement, an upgraded Delta Sigma Drive system with a PWM carrier frequency raised above 20 kHz, a Hybrid Encoder for rotational speed detection, and the Multi-Stage Silent Power Supply derived from the reference SL-1000R. When production ends, no further units will be made. The SL-1200GME is the definitive SL-1200G, and it will not come again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Culmination of a Legend\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SL-1200 has been the world's most trusted direct drive turntable since its introduction in 1972, used in broadcast stations, mastering studios, and serious listening rooms across every decade since. The SL-1200G, launched in 2016, brought the platform to a new level of audiophile precision. The SL-1200GME takes every improvement made since 2016 and applies it simultaneously for the first time. The coreless direct drive motor has been reworked with a reinforced stator board using non-magnetic screws, following the same reinforcement pattern as the Reference Class SP-10R and SL-1000R. The Delta Sigma Drive's PWM carrier frequency has been expanded from approximately 2 kHz to over 20 kHz, pushing motor-generated micro-vibrations entirely out of the audible range. A Hybrid Encoder using a Hall Sensor for rotor position detection maintains rock-solid rotational speed stability even under the influence of warped records or stylus drag variation. The result is wow and flutter of 0.025% W.R.M.S. from a fully integrated turntable system that includes a tonearm, headshell, and all accessories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eVibration Resistance from Every Angle\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SL-1200GME's three-layer platter combines a rigidly bonded brass and aluminium die-cast construction with deadening rubber covering the entire rear surface. Its rotational inertial mass surpasses the SP-10MK2, the direct drive standard of professional broadcast stations for decades, and is more than twice the inertial mass of the SL-1200MK5. Every unit is individually balanced on high-precision factory equipment after assembly and labelled with a BALANCED sticker confirming the adjustment. The four-layer cabinet — aluminium die-cast, BMC, heavyweight rubber, and a 10 mm hairline-finished aluminium top panel — provides exceptional rigidity and a surface quality worthy of a limited edition. Newly developed zinc insulators using αGEL gelatinous material provide high vibration damping and minimise acoustic feedback from the listening environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLimited Edition of 1,200 Units Worldwide (Silver):\u003c\/strong\u003e Final production run of the SL-1200G series;

For the first time, a spring chassis with an inner tray driven by a straight belt was used in a series-produced model. The principle proved to be very successful and found many imitators in the following years. Like its famous predecessor, the new Thorens TD 1500, which will be used exclusively manually, also has a chassis that isolates the turntable and arm shelf from the motor and frame by means of three pointed springs. Unlike the TD 150, these springs can be adjusted from above through the corresponding holes in the tray, which makes it easier to set correctly. The speed of the DC motor is electronically controlled by an incremental encoder, and deviations, e.g. due to a broom, are automatically corrected. This also allows for very good speed fluctuation values. As a true unique selling point in its class, the TD 1500 features XLR outputs in addition to the usual pair of RCA connectors, allowing for true balanced operation with a suitable MC pickup.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"auto\"\u003eNEW THORENS TONEARM TP 150\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"auto\"\u003eThe new TP 150 tonearm is similar to the TP 124 tonearm used in the new TD 124 DD. It has an effective mass of 14 grams, is adjustable in height and azimuth and is equipped with a standard SME connection, so that changing the main console can be easily done or other cartridges can be installed. Anti-skating is adjusted by a movable weight in the arm base, which is set on a nylon thread guided by a ruby bearing. A high-quality and pre-tuned 2M Bronze pickup from Danish cartridge specialist Ortofon is also included as standard.
