New Feikert Volare

Two posts in one day--yikes, I need to get a life.
I just stumbled on the new Feikert Volare. Did anyone get a chance to hear it at RMAF? I was at CAF and did not recall seeing it there. I'd be interested in listening impressions with the OL arm they ran with it at RMAF as well as any design information beyond the minimal featured on the website. Looks pretty--nice tight package. Only one arm option and no sliding mount but they seem to have a "quick change" feature of some kind. Anyway--love to hear from those of you who have seen/heard it.

Yes sounded excellent with the arm and the cartridge that came with it

If you are in the DC Metro area my friend Russ is a dealer and I set up the cartridge that came with it for him. PM me and I will give you his info, not sure if I can pot it here

Finally got a chance to hear the Volare/Origin Live Silver combination. First, the fit and finish of this table is superb, as is the appearance. This is a very well designed, attractive, reasonably-sized turntable that looks and plays well with the OL arm. The system was unfamiliar to me so I cannot say much about what the vinyl front end was contributing, but I heard a very quiet background, good bass and good timing. Very promising and priced well at $3500 for the combination and I'm guessing it will compete well with tables at that level or above.
