Dr. Feickert Turntable

Great table, I’ve owned two Volares, one with a Jelco the other with the OL Silver.

I also owned a Woodpecker but didn’t like the handling on the Kuzma 12VTA that came with it.

Feickert has a house sound for sure. I ran my Volare alongside a Origin Live Resolution and the Volare had a more solid and impactful sound where the OL deck had more detail and air. There’s a review kicking around if anyone is interested in the comparison.…

.….pick your poison.

I heard the Woodpecker with the Kuzma Unipivot 12" VTA arm. Cartridge was standard Koetsu Rosewood. I can see the comment above that they veer to the warm side, but with the Koetsu and an all tube system, it would be hard to make a blanket statement. Those Pure Fidelity tables look gorgeous in photos. I'd love to see and hear one in person. 

I’ve ordered the Feickert Volare turntable from Music Direct
Here are the details:

Excellent.  Let us know how things turn out. What tools(s) are you using for setup? I'd recommend the AS SmaTractor - it's the best in my experience, 

Agree the SmarTracker is simple, quick and very accurate
