Video of the B-Sharp Turntable unboxing at True Audiophile


Here's a video of the B-Sharp at True Audiophile. You can see it through assembly and us dialing it in. As HiFi Choice Audio Magazine Review says: "EAT B-Sharp never-the-less is well conceived and put together, and proves to be a fine-sounding package. Just as the manufacturer intended, it feels like a stripped down high-end design, rather then a tarted up budget one. In Super Pack form for a whisker under 1600 USD, its a great value for the money and an essential audition. Sound Quality: 5 stars, Value for Money 5 Stars, Build Quality 5 stars"

Why EAT?

EAT B-Sharp at True Audiophile

Just had an educational chat with EAT USA master TT guru, Roy. Although he sees and works on these tables every day - hey maybe too many days a week, Roy, take a rest - he's always excited to talk about their unique differences and the USA influence on EAT.

Roy went into all the special aspects of their carbon fiber arm mated to the aluminum headshell to properly balance out and dampen the resonance frequencies of both. Something he reminds us is not done with solid arms of the bigger names. The large head above the arm pivot also uses its mass to balance the force and dampening especially when combined with the special floating sub-chassis with thermo plastic elastomers TPE (made by Ortofon especially for EAT).

This, in turn, works with the isolation adjustable feet. Even the record clamp is USA influenced. Many record clamps that screw down have such force exerted by owners that the outer lip of the record actually raises up. To counter this, the EAT clamp has a concave inner shape that prevents that from happening. Initially, a USA request, all EAT B-Sharps worldwide are now shipped with this clamp.

The low noise motor is also isolated to dampen the harmful resonance frequencies further. Add a 3.9 lb aluminum platter, fully adjustable arm (VTA/RSA/Azumith) and an Ortofon Blue cartridge as standard -- you get a lot of table for the price.

Mobile Fidelity just rocked our Vinyl World.


MoFi UltraDeck at True Audiophile

We've been searching for years trying to find lower cost turntables that didn't sacrifice sonics for a lower price.

There was massive pressure on their reputation if these tables and phono stages didn't live up to Mobile Fidelity's history.

We admit it, they did it. Two incredible tables from $999-1799.00 with tech that just shouldn't be possible at that pricing. Phono stages $249-499 (with Class-A HP amp) and Stellar Handmade Cartridges.

You will not be disappointed. Shop Now.
