Blackbird

The Dr. Feickert Blackbird is a high-performance turntable designed for audiophiles seeking versatility and precision. Featuring dual brushless, three-phase Pabst motors in a 180° configuration, it minimizes reactive forces and reduces wow, flutter, and bearing noise. The chassis accommodates two tonearms, supporting pivot-to-spindle distances from 205–320 mm on the right and 205–240 mm on the optional left mount .

The 13.23-lb Delrin platter, embedded with eight brass inlays, enhances inertia and resonance control. A built-in cartridge alignment protractor simplifies setup, while the quick-release armboard system allows for easy tonearm swaps .

Available in various finishes, including matte black and wood veneers, the Blackbird combines engineering excellence with aesthetic appeal. Its sound signature is dynamic, neutral, and detailed, making it a standout choice for discerning vinyl enthusiasts.

Available with several tonearm options from Thomas Schick, EMT and Kuzma, with lengths from 9-12 inches.
