Hi-fi turntables · 2016–present In production
£1,249 UK RRP
The audiophile label's first hardware: a US-made deck with a 10-inch arm, Delrin platter and isolation feet developed with HRS.
MoFi took 40 years of mastering-lab experience and built a turntable with it.

Who it suits
Best suited to: a first serious turntable for an existing or planned amp-and-speakers setup. Less ideal for: plugging straight into passive speakers with no amp — check the built-in phono stage row above, and note most hi-fi decks still need external amplification.
Compatibility and setup
- Manual operation: you cue and lift the tonearm by hand at the start and end of each side — there’s no auto-return or auto-lift.
Good to know
- No built-in phono stage — use an amplifier with a phono input or add a separate phono preamplifier.
- Sold without a cartridge fitted — budget for a compatible cartridge and setup before first use.
