Continuum Caliburn - really the best TT on earth?

I have read so many good things about the Caliburn but also figured out that this table needs some care (software, o-ring, air suction etc.) To my knowledge they have improved the table over the last three years.

Is there anyone out who has experience with this table besides of audio shows -meaningly having tested the Caliburn with the Cobra and e.g. a Lyra system within a very good chain? Is there any reason not to go for a Caliburn?

Before making the investment I would just make a trip to either Singapore or down under to audition the Continuum in person. Be sure that - with contenders around or not - will be set-up according to manufacturer's specs.
Get an empirical first hand impression.
The money spent for that listening trip will be very worthwhile and a wise investment anyhow. And either spot is much more comfortable regarding climate right now.....

And if you want to test Ebm's comment for its sonically content - TW's place is only a 3-4 hour drive from your door..............

Melbourne, Singapur, Las Vegas or Herne - where to go first?

the problem is all those important guys are at CES right now and lay foundations for the analogue future, hopefully...

as I am very much addicted to the Far East I will start with Melbourne !

Do make a round trip - start in Vegas and cross the Pacific to Melbourne/Singapore. After that, Westfalia may no longer be worth the - short - trip..... and you should see (hear ?) TW's "nuit noire" in Vegas anyhow - don't you?

good idea! I have been in Vegas three years ago after the RMFA in Denver having met Thomas there too- but this time it should be a bit quiter.
I heard there should be an upcoming analogue event in Portugal (analogue only), maybe before I touch down in Westfalia I have a short look at this event. Looks like I have to visit a travel agency first - oh dear!
