I too purchased Dr Feickert Volare. I purchase it with the OL Silver arm with the idea of upgrading it to the Kuzma 4Point 9 down the road. I love it just as it is (but will still upgrade). The table itself is solid as a tank and with the Soundsmith Zephyr Star MC it has great detail. Instead of the symbol "sound" I can now hear the head of the stick strike the symbol with the ring after. It's tight. Bass is beefed up, but more forward than I am used to. Looking at treatment to calm it down. I am currently running it through my McIntosh MA 8900 but should be getting a new phono stage from Decware in the next few months. Yes, it does take a year. Can't wait to hear the difference in quality and the difference from SS to tubes.
I was originally saving up for the Blackbird because I wanted 2 arms. After much discussion I pulled the trigger on the Volare, due to the idea of diminishing returns on quality vs soaking up my budget. Who knows...someday.
Highly recommended.
