Continuum Caliburn - really the best TT on earth?

Yes Thuchan,
It seems that Mark Doehmann as head of the design team for Continuum....introduced many revolutionary ideas into the world of vinyl playback....HERE
I must admit that I wondered many times....how on earth they manufactured those Cobra and Copperhead arms?
The secret is now out..... and VPI claiming a 'first' for 3D printing of a tonearm...is slightly presumptuous?

Having aligned a my sonic ultra Bc cartridge in the Copperhead recently I believe that the Continuum tonearms are not only rare animals but among the best sounding tonearms ever designed.

I totally agree Thuchan.

In fact out of the dozen or so arms I've had in my system (both vintage and modern) I'm prepared to say the Copperhead is the best on all types of cartridges,
Tellingly......I've found that it's MM cartridges rather than MCs which bring unstuck some vaunted names in the 'high-end' tonearm pantheon.
The Copperhead reigns supreme with all my MM collection (not that it's a slouch with high-compliance LOMCs).
The only problem with the Copperhead and Cobra tonearms (and now the new Viper which is really a Copperhead with a new name)....is the real pain in changing cartridges and adjusting the counterweights.

But you and I are lonely voices Thuchan in this world of tonearms, as very few audiophiles will ever have the opportunity to hear one of these miracles let alone own one..😮
And why Fremer appears to prefer the Kuzma 4-Point over his Cobra continues to puzzle me?
You had a 4-Point and an Airline at some stage didn't you?
What say you about Fremer's choice?

Halcro,

I guess MF was getting tired on exchanging carts in the Cobra, which I understand. I use a Goldfinger v2 in my Cobra via the Boulder 2008 and will never change this line. As a reviewer I would keep an arm with exchangable headshells like the Axiom or FR66s. The Kuzma 4point isn’t really bad, nevertheless I prefer the Airline,  using only matching carts for tangential scanning (without rubber).

With Mikey's clout, it would seem a no-brainer for him to have another Cobra arm-wand to mount his 'cartridge under review' and be able to swap easily to his 'reference cartridge' in the other arm-wand for instant comparisons...?
I guess there is pressure on him to have 'currently available' equipment as his reference for commercial reasons?
For this reason....I suspect his Caliburn turntable may be on borrowed time...❓🤔
