What's unique about the brand

MoFi Electronics is known for their turntables featuring unique engineering choices like chassis with constrained layer damping and 10-inch tonearms for superior sound quality. Their speakers use concentric driver designs that minimize cone displacement and enhance clarity, while their phono stages offer uncommon features like front-panel adjustability for gain and cartridge load.

What reviewers are saying

We read all the reviews. Here's what reviewers feel most strongly about:

  • MoFi emphasizes their deep-rooted expertise in recording and mastering to inform the design of their audio components.
  • They use a concentric driver design, positioning the tweeter within the woofer, in order to achieve a more coherent and unified sound source for improved imaging.
  • MoFi electronics aim for tonal neutrality, ensuring that their components do not impart excessive colorations or distortions to the source material.
  • Andrew Jones, a respected speaker engineer with experience at KEF, Infinity, Pioneer, TAD, and ELAC, is central to the design of MoFi's loudspeakers.

Our favorite reviewer quotes:

  • "The first thing that's striking about the Ultradeck is the ease that it produces music, almost like open reel tape. It's nearly impossible to describe to those who haven't experienced it, but the difference isn't subtle." (https://www.vinylmeplease.com/blogs/magazine/mofi-ultradeck-we-review-new-turntable-mobile-fidelity?srsltid=AfmBOoptKX_99Vlu0B4numrrLRbEe0egTwE7h6HA3dyhI6Jc7QWmIklt)
  • "With the MasterPhono, this wild, stunning disc made me feel like I was the one pounding the piano. Percussion transients were naturally sharp-sounding and dramatically impactful, but never hard, overemphasized, or compressed." (https://www.stereophile.com/content/gramophone-dreams-80-mobile-fidelity-electronics-masterphono)
  • "This open ceiling for sound is a remarkable trait, a clarity beyond the smoothed-off tone of many turntables at or below this price; the resulting liveliness is delightful." (https://www.whathifi.com/reviews/mo-fi-electronics-studiodeck-plus)
  • "The MoFi SourcePoint 8s portrayed all those bowed, plucked, struck, and strummed sounds with such character and transparency that I was able to visualize each in its place on the soundstage. The ensemble was positioned between the speakers, extending backward from the loudspeaker plane." (https://www.stereophile.com/content/mofi-electronics-sourcepoint-8-loudspeaker)
  • "It's a real sonic communicator though: a speaker that conveys the nuances of music whatever the genre. It does intricacy and refinement before switching to full-throated roar and back again, all in an instant." (https://darko.audio/2024/05/mo-fi-sourcepoint-8-loudspeaker-review)

Lineup comparison

We think it's helpful to understand how their products compare. To learn more about each, scroll to the section above to click through to individual product pages.

StudioDeck Turntable

  • Positioning: The entry-level turntable, offering high-quality sound at an accessible price.

About the brand

VPI is known for its high-end, American-made turntables. They stand out for their use of 3D printing in tonearm design, creating one-piece structures that enhance sound quality, and their unique unipivot tonearm design that balances on a single point for precise sound reproduction.

Our interview with the brand

What are two key technological innovations or strong opinions that differ you from other brands?

Technologically, two standout innovations set VPI apart: 

Our use of 3D printing technology and our proprietary 3-phase BLD motor and processing system. The 3D-printed tonearms represent a major leap forward in precision, damping, and performance—offering sonic benefits that traditional manufacturing struggles to match. Our 3-phase motor system, paired with advanced control processing, delivers superior speed stability and vibration isolation. Both are significant engineering achievements in turntable design and performance.

From a broader philosophy, what truly differentiates us is our identity—we're a family-owned company, still run by the original family, now heading into a third generation. Every table is made in America, built by a small but dedicated team, and reflects a hands-on, personal commitment to craftsmanship and legacy that's hard to find today.

What's your approach to customer support?

We always recommend that customers first reach out to their original retailer—dealer or distributor—as they are often the quickest path to help. However, if the dealer is unavailable or the issue goes beyond their scope, we're absolutely here and ready to jump in.

Customers can contact us directly by email or phone, and we do our best to respond as quickly as possible. What sets us apart is our commitment to hands-on support—if needed, we'll FaceTime or Zoom with customers to walk them through setup, troubleshooting, or fine-tuning. We've even invited customers to the factory when they're nearby. We take support personally because we take our customers personally—when you buy a VPI, you're part of the family.

What are your favorite tracks for showcasing the strength of your products?

  1. Take Five – Dave Brubeck: The rhythm, the horn work, and the overall layering make this an ideal track for evaluating instrumental balance and clarity. Personally, it holds a special place—it was a favorite of mine and my wife back when we were dating, and my father, Harry Weisfeld (VPI's founder), used it to teach me about soundstage and timing. It's both a sentimental and technical go-to.
  2. Dr. Ackbar – Bob and Ray's Stereo Spectacular: This is a wild, lesser-known gem. It's a spoken-word journey through a castle/laboratory that plays with spatial cues and stereo effects in a way that's perfect for system testing. When your setup is dialed in, you should feel like you're physically in the space—with voices and effects coming from pinpoint locations around you.
  3. 64 Dodge – Greg Brown: This track gives me everything I need when checking a system—vocals, guitar tone, and fine detail. I grew up listening to it, so I know exactly how it should sound. When something's off, I can hear it immediately; when it's right, this track just sings.

What other products pair best with yours?

Tough to pick just one, but Nordost cables are often paired with VPI by both customers and retail partners—and for good reason. The synergy between Nordost and our turntables brings out incredible detail and clarity. That said, two standout system pairings we've seen a lot this past year include:

System 1:

  • VPI Industries
  • VAC Amplifiers
  • Acora Speakers
  • Cardas Cables

System 2:

  • VPI Industries
  • Audio Research
  • Wilson Audio
  • Nordost Cables

Each of these combinations delivers a beautiful blend of musicality, precision, and dynamic range—exactly what analog lovers are chasing.

About the brand

Thorens is renowned for pioneering the suspended subchassis turntable design in 1966 with their TD 150 model, which provides superior vibration isolation and has become a standard in turntable engineering. Their latest innovation is seen in the New Reference turntable, which features an active vibration isolation system developed with Seismion that uses piezoelectric sensors and electronic control, along with a German-made 3-phase synchronous motor driven by three linear power amplifiers.

About the brand

Rega is a British hifi brand known for its minimalist, low-mass turntable designs that challenge the industry's typical heavy-mass approach to reducing vibration. Their hand-assembled turntables and tonearms use advanced materials like graphene-infused carbon fiber and feature slim yet rigid plinths with striking glass platters, reflecting founder Roy Gandy's unique engineering perspective on how components affect
