I just upgraded to the Volare with the ClearAudio Satisfy Carbon Tonearm and Hana Umami Blue from a MOFI Ultradeck with Master Tracker cartridge. All I can say is wow! Such a huge difference in sound. The new set up has huge dynamics with incredible detail. I've spent too many nights staying up much too late because I can't stop listening. Upscale was great to deal with. I actually had another model turntable in mind but they turned me on to the Volare and I couldn't be happier. There were some hiccups in the process but Sean-Paul was great to work with and he got everything fixed and then some. Highly recommend both Upscale and the Volare.

Let us start with Sean Paul first, who helped me to decide which turntable to purchase. No pressure, he just suggested a few tables and we narrowed it down to the Dr. Feickert Volare. This is not the first time I have worked with Sean Paul on some equipment. He recommended the EAT E-Glo Petit phonostage, and it had an issue and he stood by his product and sent me a replacement EAT E-Glo Petit phonostage (no questions asked). I took his advice on the Dr. Feickert Volare and I couldn't be happier. I did not think it would make as big of an improvement in my vinyl playback, but this table is a work of art. Highly Recommended!

This is by far the highest quality turntable I have ever seen. Very solid yet not an overly large table. Fit and Finish is all first class. Sean-Paul from Upscale Audio had tonearm and cartridge (Sumiko Songbird) set up. I am extremely satisfied with my purchase.

Thanks to Ken for recommending the Volare. Build quality is first rate. This thing is like a tank. And it looks great too. He worked within my budget to combine it with a Hana ML cartridge and Sutherland Insight phono stage. The result is a truly lovely sounding system, and a rediscovery of my vinyl collection. Upscale installed and aligned the cartridge, so the resulting setup needed from me was minimal.

I went with Upscale because of the stellar rep they deservingly have. Just call & go over your system with em & your expectations/budget/experience..all of it. They will help you make the best decision on purchase possible. I started with Mofi ultradeck w/mastertracker . Sean has delt with the very difficult me in that as he would say I have a large exactitude mentality. I don’t tolerate junk or crappy QC. I’m 53 & been in the game seemingly forever. I felt my system needed to be in 5k TT land so went with Dr. Feickert Volare w/ Jelco 850S w/VTA micro adjust on the fly & Hana SL Sean helped me beyond the call of duty before going Feickert. Upon receiving Volare I was impressed .. very impressed. Every step was exceeding expectations. I would have payed more for this package as it’s a bargain in hifi land. Machining, fit/finish is very high level. It’s a heavy compact brute of a table . A ridiculously large oil bath spindle bearing assembly. On start up it gets to speed very fast for belt drive & with no motor stress or belt slip noise. This is a 10 lbs platter too. The speed stability & adjustments offered are stellar. This will probably be my end game table, but if I get the itch.. Dr. Feickert it will be. The ability to easily change to arm of choice is awesome. The Jelco 850S is crazy cool & with the Hana SL doing its thing makes for a very high level vinyl playback. My system is simple.. Dynaudio Core 59’s NAD C658 Mofi phono pre Basically the Feickert Volare is a lot of table for $ & would without question recommend it. The thing with Upscale is the entire staff know there shit & play no BS games. Sean & Kat are outstanding in TT setup & deep knowledgeable of analog reality. If you want BS sales spills then Upscale isn’t for you. They just want you happy with your gear. I’ll mention again that I’m a difficult human when it comes to exactitude & Upscale delivered. They now have a repeat customer for as long as there doors are open. The sound quality of this table/arm/cart combo is amazing.. no hype .. just neutral with emotional connection on any good vinyl Joe Parcher
