Continuum Caliburn - really the best TT on earth?

I have heard both the Rockport Sirius III and the Continuum Caliburn in the same room and system (but different speakers) sounding rather poorly.

A 'great' turntable is no guarantee of great sound. The other fundamentals must be in place firstly IMO:-
Good room
Good speakers suited particularly for the room
Good amplification suited particularly for the speakers

Halcro, pls. let me add good stands for the TT, amps etc. -meaningly vibration control and decoupling treatments!

Thucham is already in TT bliss; I mean who can ever recall having listened to, and in a great system, tables such as the SX8000, SX8000 II, Naka......

So what have we got here? Great air bearing, great air bearing and vacuum platter, the best (only besides the smaller Naka?) self centering TT with space technology speed control (from the 80's).

What TT's offered any significant technological advance over those 3 ? Except better bearings, better etc....nothing really new? we would all like to know about them.

Does the Continuum in that context makes sense, does it have true technological innovations applied to TT's?

To contemplate the idea of having any Continuum ontop of the other 3 is just marvelous, to do it is out of this world. If Thuchan takes the step and gets one he will probably be the only man on earth to talk with authority about the differences.

Hey Thuchan any spare seats in that room?

TW BLACK NIGHT WITH GRAHAM PHANTOM 2 IS THE BEST!!

I have tried to track through some of your prior posts to determine your basis for this statement and I must admit that the answer has eluded me. Could you enlighten me?

Thanks.
