MoFi Electronics is a Michigan-based hi-fi manufacturer specializing in audiophile-grade turntables, cartridges and other high-end audio gear. Its line of turntables, for example, ranges from $1,000 to $6,000.

The company makes a number of high-end phono preamplifiers to pair with its turntables, too. Its flagship model, the MasterPhono, was designed to “replicate the sonic integrity” that characterizes the highest-quality vinyl (such as MFSL reissues). It costs $5,995.

Now, MoFi Electronics introduced a new phono preamplifier that is positioned as a more affordable version of its flagship model. It’s called the UltraPhono Pro.

Flagship DNA

MoFi designed its newest phono preamplifier, the UltraPhono Pro, in the same mold as its flagship MasterPhono. It was created with the same collaborator, the renowned audio engineer Peter Madnick, and it’s built around the same ultra-low-noise, fully discrete analog topology.

According to the press release, the UltraPhono Pro “brings much of the performance DNA of its flagship MasterPhono to a more accessible price point.”

Streamlined design, single-input

In a nutshell, the UltraPhono Pro is a stripped-down, streamlined version of the company’s MasterPhono. It lacks the dual-chassis construction and glowing VU meters on the front panel that are on the flagship model. And it has a single input, rather than multiple, so it’s no quite as flexible.

But the UltraPhono Pro shares many features with its more expensive sibling. It’s built around a fully discrete J-FET and MOSFET gain stage and a passive, zero-feedback RIAA network. And it features a seven-stage regulated balanced power supply to create, according to the brand, “an exceptionally quiet foundation.”

Works with most turntables

Similarly, the UltraPhono Pro is a high-end phono preamplifier that pairs well with a wide range of turntables. It’s compatible with both moving magnet (MM) and moving coil (MC) cartridges. And it has flexible gain and loading controls to ensure the cartridge and the overall system sound their best.

MoFi claims that the UltraPhono Pro extracts the “maximum information from [the] cartridge with as little loss as possible — delivering a natural, unforced presentation without unnecessary complexity.”

Price and availability

All things considered, the MoFi’s UltraPhono Pro could be a steal for audiophiles looking for an elite phono preamplifier to pair with their high-end turntable. It promises similar performance to the brand’s $6,000 MasterPhono, but comes in at half the price.

The UltraPhono Pro costs $2,495 and is available now.
