Dr. Feickert Analogue Volare

This is for an ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE (perfect, hardly used):

• Dr. Feickert Volare Turntable
• Kuzma Stogi 9" Gimbaled Tonearm
• Hana Umami ML Phono Cartridge

List prices for these pieces, in order, are:

• $3,495.00
• $2,825.00
• $1,200.00

Retail price for the system is $7,520.00.

I want to make it clear that under no circumstances will I SHIP this rig.  It is just too dangerous to ship now that it is fully assembled.  Far too delicate!  I live in West Des Moines, Iowa, and would be happy to meet a reasonable distance halfway (although I am 74 years old and do not like traveling long distances).

The reason I am selling is....what-else....I upgraded!  I currently upgraded to:

• Dr. Feickert Trio SE Turntable
• Kuzma Stogi Reference CE Tonearm
• Hana Umami Red Phono Cartridge

This latest rig retails for $16,797.00.

I am willing to sell my original setup for a giveaway price of $3,500 just to get some cash from an item that is just sitting around in my listening room.  I am attaching a few photographs of the turntable sitting by itself (not hooked up).  I have my new rig already set up in place of the system that is for sale.  If you want more photos, please let me know.

I welcome you to come over to my residence and listen to this magnificent setup, but I WILL NOT ship it.  Sorry.  Just too risky now that it is assembled and quality checked for performance by Upscale Audio in LaVerne, California, where I purchased it two years ago.  Unfortunately, I do not get a chance to listen as much as I want, so there is probably less than 25 hours TOTAL on the system you will be purchasing.  You will not find an imperfection anywhere on the unit.

I also have a custom-made acrylic dust cover for the turntable, and we can discuss if you want to purchase it as well.  List price is approximately $395.

I would list this as a 10/10 "Mint," but Audiogon says that is reserved for systems less than a year old, and I have had it for two years.

NOTE:  The first six photos are from the turntable as it is in my home.  The final six photos are from Upscale Audio's Quality Control after they set up the turntable, tonearm, and cartridge....and then ran tests to make sure everything was operating precisely as designed.

I welcome all questions.

Thank you!!
