Dr. Feickert Analogue Volare

The Dr. Feickert Analogue Volare Turntable is a compact and elegant record player designed for high-quality vinyl playback. It features a belt drive mechanism and a quick-swap mechanism for armboards, making it versatile for different tonearms. The turntable has dimensions of 420 mm x 360 mm x 125 mm and weighs 17.5 kg without the tonearm and aluminum platter. It comes with a 9.5-inch Origin Silver MK4 tonearm and is known for its high mass in the center of the bearing, which is stiff, robust, and low friction. This design allows for low rumble and smooth operation, complementing the torque motor design.

The Volare is considered a downsized version of Dr. Feickert's flagship Firebird model, offering a balance between performance and affordability at $3495. It is praised for its classic good looks and straightforward engineering, providing expressive and dynamic vinyl playback. The turntable is built by hand in Germany's Black Forest region and comes with a warranty of 2 years for the chassis and electronics, and 5 years for the bearing.
