Now with the opportunity of closer acquaintance as the exclusive UK distributor, we have gained a new level of insight into the superb build quality and associated performance of these exceptional turntables. Dr Feickert products achieve a substantial quality increase with each step up the range, a feat which a perhaps surprisingly small number of manufacturers achieve with any degree of consistency.

Made just outside Freiburg in Germany from the best quality materials, the Dr. Feickert range competes with perhaps better-known alternatives on every level. The new Volare is an elegant, compact, entry-level drive belt turntable bringing Dr. Feickert precision to a potential new market. Even the base model facilitates easy arm swapping, while the motor unit can be further enhanced with platter upgrades and linear PSU options. As with all decks in the range, a range of veneers and finishes is available.

The Woodpecker is, for me, the catalyst for something very special happening, with huge possibilities regarding tonearm choice and plenty of upgrade potential.

The Blackbird now takes us into the world of two tonearm choices, with the capability to fit 9”, 10.5” and 12” derivatives, along with all the usual heavier platter options and choice of a more sophisticated PSU.

The Firebird is the apotheosis of what is possible from a record player and is supplied as standard with heavy platter and linear PSU and the customary flexible choice of tonearms from 9–14.”

If you're looking for something different and cutting edge, look no further than Dr. Feickert. On demonstration now.
