Dr. Feickert Volare or Acoustic Signature XXL


I’m down to these two. The Feickert comes with an OL Silver arm and the AS comes with their TA1000 arm. Which would you choose and why?

There are two Feickert Firebird for sale at very good prices.  There are $16k-ish new.  Each of these is $6995:

I wish I was in the market today, but I’m working towards my digital endgame (The BAT Rex 3 DAC)

@ozzy62  - My Table came with an Auris W‑10A Tonearm.  Upscale was selling the 25th Anniversary with the Auris as a package.  I just checked and I don’t any package but they 25th is still less money than the standard Volare that has only one motor and a smaller footprint.  https://upscaleaudio.com/collections/dr-feickert-analogue

I’ve not event listened to mine yet.  My system has been down to convert my amps to mono and upgrade the caps. 

 

Both tables are pretty well regarded. Seems like it might just come down to which is the better arm. I had an earlier version of the OL Silver about 20 or so years ago on a Roksan Xerses and it didn’t wow me much. That combination seemed a little too analytical but I’m not sure if it was the table or the arm.
