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?

Halcro,

I guess MF was getting tired on exchanging carts in the Cobra, which I understand. I use a Goldfinger v2 in my Cobra via the Boulder 2008 and will never change this line. As a reviewer I would keep an arm with exchangable headshells like the Axiom or FR66s. The Kuzma 4point isn’t really bad, nevertheless I prefer the Airline,  using only matching carts for tangential scanning (without rubber).

With Mikey's clout, it would seem a no-brainer for him to have another Cobra arm-wand to mount his 'cartridge under review' and be able to swap easily to his 'reference cartridge' in the other arm-wand for instant comparisons...?
I guess there is pressure on him to have 'currently available' equipment as his reference for commercial reasons?
For this reason....I suspect his Caliburn turntable may be on borrowed time...❓🤔

The Western decadence can be observed by cars, yacht's, palace's

womens , etc.,etc. The rich have no idea what they already own but are primary interested in owning more expensive stuff than other rich

persons. That this pathetic  attitude is extended to turntables and other HIFI gear is abonimable.

"Abonimable"?  It's also inetivable!

rodman, You have obviously no other comment than about

spelling mistakes. To satisfy your impressive  remark about one

word  I meant ''abominable''. This word, correctly written, apply

also to your comment .
