Note: Most Kuzma tonearms come with Cardas silver-plated copper cabling as Kat mentions, but the Kuzma 4Point 11" comes with Crystal Cable wiring. Sorry for the error!
Specially made by Dr. Feickert Analogue just for Upscale Audio, the Trio SE is an updated Venti with a walnut finish and a number of improvements to vibration control and grounding. Extremely limited stock!
Our analog specialist Kat loves how quiet the Dr. Feickert turntables are--not just in the signal path, but in the audio room as well. In spite of a fast start and stop, there's no discernable motor hum or belt squeak, and she is amazed at their speed stability. Sonically too. Says Kat, "The table doesn't feel like it's playing a role. That paired with a Kuzma tonearm is effortless--it's like there's nothing playing the record, at the same time there's everything playing the record."

I talked to Kat and she guided me toward the Dr. Feickert Volare when I was shopping for a new turntable. She was extremely helpful and patient with me. Definitely a great experience. Glad I bought from Upscale Audio!
What cartridge did you get for your Volare and how are you liking it? I am looking at buying my first turntable and was thinking of getting a vintage Technics 1200 from Japan, but maybe this is a better way to go.
It’s so nice to see a girl that knows and loves audio
I loved the presentation. Nice material. Congratulations from Portugal.
Kevin you guys are so amazing thank you!
Kat, extremely well said that “the table doesn’t feel like it’s playing a role.”
A Feikert, Kuzma Stabi, or a VPI HW-40, are my absolute dream decks. The Feikert turntables are true things of beauty.
Kat, it’s so wonderful to see another female that truly knows her sh!t in this male dominated world of HiFi. And, you play 3 instruments! That just makes you more aware of how music’s supposed to sound. Awesome!
I really appreciate Kevin, but it's nice to see a new face. And she seems very knowledgeable. Awesome!
I love Dr Feickert TT and Kuzma tonearm!! They are fantastic!
Kevin, I wish all company's had the customer dedication that you do. It's refreshing to hear that a company actually cares about its customers. Keep doing what you're doing, it's the right way to run a business. Thanks for all the great advise, I will be buying something from you soon. Take care.
I like to hear that you guys check out every table you ship. I hope to buy one from you soon!
Kat helped me with my Clear Audio Concept turntable and a beautiful cartridge (HANNA - MC) and a perfect Phono Pre-AMP. She is awesome and she send me pictures on how it is setup, made sure it is packed perfect and made it reach me safe and my side assembly was perfect... as she put markers etc... Kevin is right - They "Treat any system as their own" .... AWESOME TEAM! And Lovely Kat - kind and patient and very helpful with authority!!!
Dream turntable! Thank you for the review.
I don't dream about turntables. My dreams are far more interesting.
@ ok
Kat is fantastic, she gave me goods advices , take her time , thank you so much.
Love you guys!
I’m in Love, I like the table as well.
Great review.... 👍
It’s great to see more women involved
in audio, my wife sure has better hearing then I so it makes sense.😎
Kat is a honey, sounds like she really knows her stuff, well done. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Beautifully engineered table! This is endgame for me.
Amazing video great analog gurus!
Feikert is right up there, no ostentatious bling just pure quality engineering that allows the music to sing
Makes me want to drive up there and check it out!
Kat needs to make an appearance on all your videos - she's lovely
I’m one of 20 cool kids with a freakin beautiful Venti TT purchased from Kat. EVERYTHING that Kevin & Kat say in this video is very unusual because it’s the TRUTH. I got the photos, the set up and the follow up. I like the counter weight on this Kuzma tone arm. My Stogi has more traditional counter weights snd I love it.
You guys def treat me great & I appreciate it greatly.
So thats Kat... Just dealt with her recently for a VPI super prime scout and a Lyra cartridge. Couldnt be happier. She goes all out to satisfy the customer.
Well done in getting them to use solid walnut surround which is much better 👏
Kat is amazing ! Awesome work !
There's so many great TTs today. Us Brits have a few, like the legendary SME Model 30 and the Rega Niaid. Analogue is doing well.
OMG, "I punched his ass back!", arms flailing LOLLL - awesome! Love the channel! ;)
Great job Kat Ourlian ! ;-)
Yea another Kat video🎶🎶
Nice Video and thanks for reviewing a german product!
Greetings from Stuttgart, Germany!
Just spoke with kat,she's awesome
You guys are fantastic. I want Kevin's t-shirt and I want Kat to help me adjust my cartridge overhang. And whatever a fozgometer is, I need one now. For the grouches out there on Audiogon who criticize Kevin Deal or call him "pushy" -- I say go pout in the corner. He is a passionate sales pro. He knows what he's talking about. He's practical and wants you to get great value. Audiophiles come in all sizes and he talks to every one of us from entry level to real critical listeners and music pros all the way to the knuckleheads who can spend any amount just to spend it. It's a hobby that blends a love of sound, design, materials engineering, product design, experimentation, curiosity, beauty, art and humanity. And it all combines to yield a music experience. Man that's a combo I can get swallowed in. Just plain fun and informative. Now I need an amp for a pair of broken in Dynaudio Special 40's that I just inherited. At the moment, a tired old Hafler XL280 isn't half terrible I have to say. And it's an amp that is nearly 30 years old -- still killing it with the help of a simple Nakamichi CA-5 pre-amp -- maybe $800 in 1984. Kevin -- if you see this -- what would you put together amp/preamp or integrated for an inherited pair of Dynaudio Special 40s? I'll put a question into your chat-bot on Upscale's site. You guys are absolutely fantastic.
Kevin Kat and Dr. Feickert,👍😀
Awesome video....that table is very cool and Kat knows her shit.
This cat is cool, not scared to say what he thinks, very rare quality these days, NC has respect for my man.
Good morning. Which of the two pickups is better .The Feickert Woodpeckert or the VPI Classic Signature with their arms..??
Kat is a Keeper ! (okay,...Kevin's oK, too...JK!) Really, this is a great store. Just brought home the little brother of this table (Woodpecker). Really happy! Good place to deal with!
Nice video. Also enjoyed the Kevin Deal gets attacked video. Reminds me a little of those old Federated Group commercials with Shadoe Stevens. So the Feickert will set you back $15k? Ugh... not sure I can afford the box it gets shipped in. Beautiful table though.
Wow, very impressive! Kat knows her turntables inside out. She's a keeper. Now if I could just get my REL T/9i that's on backorder. Ugh!
I bought the t7i from upscale love these guys it's worth the wait! I cant live without it in my system.
🥰 I love women in audio.
I'd like to try it.
Kat rocks!
Feikert! I want one!
Hey Kat, what is that tube amplifier you use with your turntable?
Rile Drive primaluna integrated + manley chinook. Although recently I’ve tried the combination of Naim and Sutherland
Does this 15k turntable sound that much better than my modified garrard 401 with silicon damping on an sme arm that I bought second hand for about 70 dollars. I think not . I'm using an audio technica moving coil cartridge and it sound awesome. Sometimes second hand gear can be very good value. Does upscale deal in used gear? I do like his love of tannoy speakers as I have tannoy loudspeakers in my main system.
Sme 3? You didn't mention. Fuck that marketing hype. Garrard 401 are on the same level as Thorens 124. I love that shit. You know 401 s are quite valuable. I just got a Technics 150mk2 with a Sme series 3 for peanuts. Rock on. 15k? Nah.
That 401 is worth a lot of money. That's sweet sounding.
just WOW
15K ???????????????????? NOT IN MY LIFETIME !!!
I’d still buy a Thorens !!
Or a Linn Sondek (if I had that kind of money)
Therefore, I’ll stick with my Technics SL1100A w/ MicroAcoustic MA530
The sapphire bearings that give the 4point its name are used to COUPLE the arm not isolate it. It is the same principle as a unipivot but with greater stability. What you want is the armtube to be as rigidly coupled to the deck as possible for 4 of the 6 degrees of movement and free to move in the other 2. A spike is the best way of achieving this. This is one of the main reasons that the 4point is such an amazingly good arm.
SPIKES DON'T ISOLATE, THEY DO THE OPPOSITE. THEY COUPLE.
Kat is really cool
I think the Thorens tonearms are so cool, the unipivot one especially. I almost bought a Thorens table just to get the arm to build a Frankenstein table with. Turns out guns & ammo are far more important to me. My Tannoy XT8F are still in their shipping boxes they came in over a year ago.
For us guys to see a girl talking “cars” is awesome. To see one talking “analog audio and turntables” is next level awesome 👏🏻. Anyhow, Kuzma arm looks like a turret on that thing 💣. I am sure that “rig” is amazing yet I crave that Technics 🤭🤷🏻♂️
You guys are awesome and I always look forward on my next purchase from you guys because I get the best service no one is ever pushy and I am trying to save my pennies for that turn table.. Anyone need a kidney for CA$H
Upscale Audio EU! please make it happen Kevin!
WOULD LOVE TO OWN THAT TABLE, A COUPLE MORE DAY TRADES AND I WILL BE CALLING YOU TO ORDER ONE.
Cats great!
Woah, I just fell in love. Not with the turntable.
Yawza.. Gorgeous but way out of my league pricing wise... Would love to know what TT's are comparable that can handle two tonearms that are in the sub $10K realm, all in.
Sorry Kat!
Kevin.... Kevin who... Hey! Its Kat!!
Kat just sold that fkn turntable. I can't afford it yet but she just sold it to me. Lol. And I came back to edit... She didn't sell me on it because she is beautiful and a woman ....after reading some comments lol...she sold it because she got into the technicals and highlighted what it is and why I need it.
I would love to work there. I'm a musician too.
That’s quite respectable tapping material.
Thanks, but I'll stick with my Lenco and my Technics with elliptical styli....! Total cost for both about 90 bucks and a few hours of restoration...!
I got my Technics SL-1401 for 20 bucks at a garage sale and my Lenco for 30 bucks at a used equipment store about 30 years ago...!
It spent a few bucks on new V-blocks for the Lenco, and a few more bucks for silicon damping fluid for both TTs.....
Is this for real??
Great video, love your stuff, but why would you put silverplated copper in the tonearm of such a a great deck, it should be occ pure silver at that money, wire isn't that expensive, I know I use loads of it in my cable building, I've been in the trade for many years, it always annoys me when manufacturers use cheap silverplated copper.
So do you sell reasonably priced silver cables since the wire is so inexpensive?

So you guys go over the table and make sure it's not messed up from shipping... right before you ship it out to us? Hmmm.
Frankly at $15,000 you BETTER go over it and make sure it's perfect before you sell it to somebody... but the UPS man is still between us so...
so true on the final delivery by UPS or FEDEX or USPS.. I'm getting the Volare installed with the ZuAudio dl-103 that I sent them to install, but cringe as to what happens during shipment to me...
Kevin, you're married 😁
wow.. not rich yet
Who is this women? I need to marry her..
Yikes.... MDF in a $15K turntable. MDF is super unstable material. Switch to Corian of some structurally stable synthetic material. MDF is the Cardboard of Woodworking.
$15,000 you can buy an automobile for that much and it’s only a turntable, think about that for a minute.
It's not an appliance, it's a toy!
In the world of audio, knowledge and info beat spending money, always. I got my first Denon for 30$. 15k is obscene.
@@elderherrera2238 no lo creo.
It's right.
We've heard of voodoo economics. Now welcome to voodoo electronics. Some people REALLY have too much money and too little common sense...
Too ugly for $15,000. It has to be beautiful aswell
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It looks beautiful to me.
