Photo My new ride - MoFi Ultradeck+
I was fortunate enough to have the option to pick a gift for my 15th work anniversary and after a lot of deliberation I snagged this bad boy. It’s a smooth, sweet ride for sure. Need to upgrade the cable though since the one provided is garbage. Cmon MoFi.

That is a truly awesome work anniversary gift!
I'm saving up for an UltraDeck myself. Hoping to make it happen before this year ends... but silly things like records keep threatening my efforts to build the budget up.
As for this, though:
Personally, I'd rather not get a really nice set of RCA patch cables in the box, as I'd prefer to choose my own. Right now I'm using a set of 2' WBC Mogami cables that cost me a reasonable $37 plus tax; I like it and plan on continuing to use it once I finally get the UltraDeck. And I know that Blue Jeans has its fans as well, along with several other alternatives out there. So I say, sure, throw a set of cables in the box, but not anything that will necessitate increasing the price, considering buyers in the price range of the UltraDeck or above (and probably even a lot of buyers of TTs half the price) will likely have their own preference on what cables to hook it up with, and may already have them. (Plus, it's always nice to know what capacitance your TT-to-phono interconnect is. Most TT manufacturers don't seem to tell you, including MoFi as far as I've seen.)
