A belt-drive with 10" tonearm, Cardas Audio wiring Made in Ann Arbor, MI 

The MasterDeck Turntable, crafted by the renowned turntable guru Allen Perkins, was born from a collaboration of vinyl enthusiasts. This reference-grade turntable is engineered for those who seek to unearth the true essence of music embedded in the grooves of their cherished vinyl LPs.

Each MasterDeck is meticulously assembled in limited batches at our Ann Arbor, Michigan factory.

The New Tonearm

The MasterDeck boasts an all-new dual-pivot carbon-fiber 10-inch tonearm, epitomizing the perfect blend of precision, control, and friction-free tracking. This state-of-the-art tonearm, featuring a removable headshell, allows for the fine-tuning of various cartridges. Adjustments include azimuth, vertical tracking angle (VTA), overhang, and anti-skate, all enhanced by the premium internal wiring from Cardas Audio.

Speed Choice and Regulation

The MasterDeck is engineered for versatility, offering a three-speed selection to accommodate 33, 45, and 78 RPM records. A fine-tuning trim adjustment enables users to make subtle speed modifications, ensuring an exact playback speed for every record. Whether it's a vintage 78 RPM shellac or a modern 33 RPM LP, the MasterDeck delivers an accurate and faithful audio reproduction, tailored to the unique characteristics of each vinyl format.

The MasterDeck's sensor-regulated well-isolated motor is equipped with a three-phase brushless DC drive, and achieves high stability and precision in rotational speed.

HRS Feet 

The MasterDeck's performance is elevated by its Harmonic Resolution Systems isolation feet. Engineered to provide 5.5 degrees of freedom, these feet effectively 'float' the turntable, offering exceptional isolation from environmental vibrations and feedback. This design is crucial in maintaining the turntable's stability, ensuring that every musical nuance is delivered with clarity and precision

Hybrid Platter

The MasterDeck's Delrin platter is 1.75 inches thick and is made of a unique aluminum and Delrin hybrid. This carefully chosen combination significantly reduces resonance, providing a remarkably stable and inert base for vinyl playback. Such stability is crucial for maintaining the purity of the audio signal, ensuring that every playback is as true to the original recording as possible. 

The encapsulated spiral groove inverted bearing is designed for unparalleled precision and stability. This sophisticated bearing system is meticulously engineered to minimize friction and reduce wear, resulting in an incredibly smooth turntable rotation.

Note, this table does not come with a dustcover.
