For all owners, there is a good review in this month's stereophile - table reviewed with the Telos arm and with a Kuzma 4Point. Framer gives the nod to his Caliburn but a close call.
The Kuzma 4 point is interesting. I have not heard one yet. There seems to be contradictory statements about it's bass performance. The two reviews I've seen both say the bass is it's strong suit. But I seem to remember a couple of posters on this forum say the bass was soft. Maybe they will chime in.
As with any piece of gear it is best to hear it for yourself.
So how have we reached this point? One of the most respected professional analogue reviewers writing in arguably the pre-eminent audio journal of the day..........compares the Caliburn to the NVS to the Onedorf....all of which were heard in his own system and listening room with identical components including arms and cartridges. Possibly no-one else on earth has done this identical comparison......yet here we have a rabble.......all of whom have never heard the three tables in question and probably never have heard even one of them in their own systems and listening rooms......voicing their doubts on the veracity of Fremer's views? Goes hand in hand I suppose.... with their ability to know the sound of an unheard system in an unknown room.....from a passing knowledge of some of the components?
And for those who wish to 'bang' against their turntables whilst listening to music?......please resume normal transmission.
Who "bangs" on their TT or any part of their system while listening to music? I own this TT and use the Wave Kinetics base and I can tell you it does an incredible job of isolating the TT from the rest of the environment. I didn't realize that a finger tapping owner needed to be part of the isolation process. The base made a very noticeable improvement in the bass region. Tightened and solidified the bass presentation.
