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?

Having arrived in Melbourne I had the opportunity to audition this TT. All I have to say is: I am very much impressed - but also by the price. If I would get this piece for half the price "deal done". Maybe I have to stay some more days...
So I guess one "reason not to go for a Caliburn", as you originally asked, is that it costs so much?

i think a better way to look at it is that the cost/benefit ratio is not sufficient to close the deal.

not a matter of means but of value.

he is already drinking from the extreme tt performance well with his current rigs. how much better for how much more money?

evidently not enough....yet.

so then it comes to the issue of 'i gotta have it anyway'.

i've had opportunities to own a Caliburn for less than i'd been offered for my Rockport (although in the interests of full disclosure, not recently). for many different reasons i never went that way. not that i might not be equally or more satisfied with the Caliburn. i just like the Rockport and did not want it to go.
Rcprince, yes I do think it costs too much! But what should you do?

Mikelavinge, you`re right -maybe it is a matter of getting to know if a Continuum is playing such wonderful in one`s own system. You already made this experience. I envy you.

As some good friends of me say I am a friend of quick decision I only needed one more night and I don`t know what really drove me today`s morning, is it the good seafood & the excellent wine in Melbourne or the wonderful relaxed people overhere? - in Germany there should be lots of snow I heard.

Luckily I rented a station wagon and had some room left, so I put this little wooden crate behind me and I`m now now heading back to Sydney - maybe getting a flight back home.
