I for one am excited to see if he is able to pull it off.

briweed.......I understand your point but my comments hold water. MoFi is marketing turntables, not manufacturing them. That was my main point. Second, and to use an analogy here, Allen Perkins may well be a respected designer of $30k turntables, and the goal to incorporate some of his design principles into entry level turntables stamped with MoFi's logo is a noble endeavor, but no one can produce a Ford GT for the price of a Fiesta, even employing the same designers.
The new MoFi Studio Deck and Ultra Deck turntables should be a hit among the crowd that wishes to dip their toes into vinyl playback without needing to take in a second room mate to help pay for the new gear. As entry level goes, these turntables and cartridge combinations don't look bad.
