Taking the time to develop everything from scratch, Feickert created a compact and elegant new record player in the Dr. Feickert Analogue Volare Turntable!
This design has all of the virtue the Doctor is famous for - perfect neutrality, an elegant appearance, and unrivaled build quality, just to name a few!
Constructing a compact but exceptional deck was not an easy task! All of the core components used in Feickert's full-size tables underwent an evaluation to see if they'd suit the new design approach. Well, all of them had to undergo a complete redesign!
Testing and refining resulted in this new design that will be a benchmark, not only in its price range but also in its performance. Feickert's universal sliding armboard mechanism could not be transferred to the Volare, however, swapping tonearms is still easy, fast, and inexpensive!
The incentive to design the Dr. Feickert Analogue Volare Turntable came from distributors, dealers, and customers, alike. All have asked for a lower-priced turntable that preserves Dr. Feickert's ideals in design, sound, and build quality. The question was, can it be done? The answer? Yes, and without compromise!
The new chassis topology of the Dr. Feickert Analogue Volare Turntable is focused on high mass in the center of the bearing. This new bearing is extremely stiff and robust, as well as being a low friction design. High inner inertia and an oil bath wet-sump approach make this bearing the perfect partner or Feickert's torque motor design, which results in low rumble and smooth operation.
