The Dr. Feickert Analogue Woodpecker Turntable is a high-quality belt-driven turntable designed for audiophiles. It features a proprietary-software-controlled DC motor, which ensures low jitter levels, and a quick-release sliding-armboard system. This system supports a variety of tonearms with effective lengths between 9 and 12 inches (205-300 mm). The turntable includes a High Inertia Platter and offers speed selection for 33, 45, and 78 RPM records, along with fine speed adjustments. The chassis is made of polished piano-black material with optional rosewood finish, and the aluminum parts are finished in black-anodized brushed aluminum. The dimensions of the turntable are 480 mm x 380 mm x 140 mm, with the chassis weighing 13.5 kg and the total weight without tonearm being approximately 18 kg (or around 40 pounds as per some configurations).
