Dr. Feickert Volare or Acoustic Signature XXL

Wow XXL with TA 1000 arm

Got the Volare 25th recently along with the Auris W10A Tonearm. It’s solidly built and performs better than my Luxman PD-151 Mk2. Maybe my expectations were too high, but I was hoping the dual motors would be silent. It’s a bit audible when standing right in front of it, but it’s not noticeable when you step a few feet away from it. Apparently the upper tier turntables like the Firebird should much quieter. I like the Auris 10" tonearm that came along with it. Having the azimuth adjustment is big and I now consider it a must have feature. My WallySkater shows that my tonearm’s internal horizontal forces and mechanical resistance measurements are right within the acceptable range and I was able dial in anti-skating perfectly.     

Dear @ozzy62  : Unforunatelly for me you are you pull very fast the  triger.

I own 2 AS but I can't know is really is a true better qualoty performer than your Helius combo and that can fulfill your targets and priorities in MUSIC/sound reproduction.

Now I only want to add that you need a way better phono cartridge that you need to listen in the Helius and in the AS. There is where I put my improve quality money if I was you.

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,
