In High end audio as in many fields of endeavor there are some products which sell the sizzle at the cost of the steak. Components which look modern sleek and perfectly manicured yet fail to deliver the sound one would expect from their appearance. Then there are those companies which produce wonderfully musical products that are to put it bluntly rather basic looking and which therefore do not get the attention they des3rve.. Tom Evans, LFD, Rega, and Rogue audio immediately come to mind . Yet perhaps it is DR. Feickert Turntables fall squarely into this category.
From a purely performance point of view,I cannot think of any turntable I would rather own in its respective Class than a Dr. Feickert offering. From the Wood pecker on up Dr. Feickert employs custom designed electronics, precisely controlling from one to three DC motors. The bearings are all specially designed for each turntable and the plinths in each model are constructed in a three-layer configuration to insure dissipation of extraneous energy.all Dr. Feickert turntables create a rock solid image and capture the rhythm and pace of the music better than any transcription deck I can think of . The presentation is fast yet harmonically satisfying. A real best Buy.
