Quoted from Dr. Feickert's website:
The idea
… based on our previous experience with Woodpecker
and Blackbird Turntables we have refined our applied concepts. The
ability to handle two 12 inch tonearms was one of the principle design
parameters along with simplifying the turntable setup and alignment
procedures. We also focused on the visual perspective as well with
evolutionary refinements in our form factor, fit and finish and
presence. From a tonal standpoint the Firebird represents the pinnacle
of the DFA product line, it is truly our new reference turntable.
The mission
… was not to simply modify the electronics used from
the Woodpecker and Blackbird – that would have been to simple, no,
instead we started from scratch with all new electronics. We developed a
much more sophisticated type of hardware and completely rewrote our
software, taking multi-motor-turntable operation to a never before seen
level. Not to worry though, this new technology will also be
integrated into our current Woodpecker and Blackbird tables, thus
elevating their performance as well.
Running on three motors we
chose the only geometrical configuration that really makes sense – the
equilateral triangle. As we have already shown with the Blackbird, the
positive effects of reduced drag force on the bearing is bettered by
the triangle configuration as it also stabilizes the bearing/platter
assembly by cancelling out all acting forces. All tendencies of
gyration are effectively eliminated. Combined with our all new bearing
with 80% reduced area of contact - which will also be fitted to the
Woodpecker and Blackbird models - we achieve much lower friction
causing less rumble and improving the wow & flutter even more …
The result
… timeless elegance paired with perfect
measurements. Ease of use at a new level that improves upon the
experience from our smaller models. Easier to set up as we also
designed new feet that allow a much wider range of leveling capability
along with improved sonics. In addition we have also implemented and
improved our well known built-in Protractor TT for setting up tonearms
and cartridges. An all new and more refined armboard-design that makes
assembly even easier than before with enhanced accuracy. You‘ll be
amazed at how simple it is to achieve the best performance.
The sound
… pitch black background paired with pure dynamics,
both macro and micro. Power and stability meets neutrality. Whatever
your choice of tonearm/cartridge is – the Firebird will reveal the most
you can get out of it opening new horizons for your listening
pleasure.
You will be completely confident that nothing is
being held back. Sit back, relax, leave all discussions about the
technical aspects behind you and just enjoy the music …
Get involved – more and more …
