Dr. Feickert Blackbird


I want to get some opinions. I am currently saving for my end-all analog source. I have been lusting after the Blackbird for a year now. I keep trying to talk myself out of it, but keep coming back. Love the classic turntable look, the reviews, and especially 2 arms. If I am only going to have one table, I want 2 arms. I still have time, as I'm not half way to my $$ goal for a the table and first arm.

Is there better or equal performer for at or under that price without losing that classic turntable look?

Have you picked your arms yet?

 

This Acos Lustre GST-801 is my rear 9" arm, extremely rare to find it in Mint Condition

 

I learned about it here, actually someone, wish I could remember whom, found it for me, I'm so thankful.

 

Unique Magnetic Forces used for tracking and anti-skateEasiest/smoothest VTA on the fly I have seen, removable headshell. If one has removable headshell, the other, presumably your long arm, can be fixed cartridge.

I like that arm so much, I almost buy it every day.

The Blackbird is a great TT! A friend is selling one because he got a seldom AirTight.

@ninetynine the Blackbird is a great TT it's just I've heard the Feickert against a Stabi R and the Stabi was clearly superior IMO.
