I have an UltraDeck playing through a Musical Fidelity Nu-Vista Vinyl phono pre, through McCormack Deluxe TLC-1 Pre, and McCormack DNA Deluxe Gold amp, all out to Genesis III floor standers and dual Servo-12 subs. The UltraDeck sounds 'fing great.
I also have sitting right next to it, a SOTA Star Sapphire VI w/ MagLev bearing, vacuum hold-down, Origin Live Silver MKIII arm with a SoundSmith Hyperion cartridge setup on it. It sounds a little bit better, but not much. Unless you've heard an UltraDeck in your listening room I doubt you have much of a clue just how excellent this combo really is. A pure joy to listen to!
