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?

Thuchan, Thanks for the detailed description. "The Continuum Criterion is musically elegant, whilst remaining dynamic" says a lot about the quality of sound it is reproducing in your system.

Sounds like your other TT set ups has met a really stiff competition. Both in looks, technical excellence, build quality and the sound!!

Happy listening!

Dear Thuchan: Good you are satisfied. Remember what I posted here about the Continuum arm?, nice to read that I was not totally wrong about.

Regards and enjoy the music,
Raul.

Dear Raul,
returning from the High End 2010 in Munich yesterday I was a little dissapointed that the overall interest in analogue gear declined a little (!) in comparison to last years`s show. Of course nearly everyone runs a TT in the showroom but some contenders are missing this time, Continuum too.

Maybe most of the analogue friends are well equipped at the moment. I saw a new Thales arm and the new TW Acoustic arm. Both sounded good.

Dear Thuchan: Maybe the Global Economic Crisis affect the Audio High End market niche.
In the other side it is not easy to manufacturers/designers bring something new when their products are at very high level and where customers that pay high prices for it a few months ago can buy again.

Regards and enjoy the music,
Raul.
