Continuum Caliburn - really the best TT on earth?

"The problem is, that words have nothing to do with reality."

This is the truth of the matter. There are those of us here who design turntables, and while we can expound on their merits endlessly, the best any of us can hope for is to find those who agree with our vision. There are many different techniques used to reach our goals, of course, but everything is subject to opinion.

The best advice is to seek out and audition those turntables which interest you because we have all been down that path to audio nirvana, only to feel the need to continue it a bit latter. Talk is cheap, so your ears need to make the decision, not some salesman or overly enthusiastic fa

Oops! The last of the sentence should have read "overly enthusiastic fan."

I suppose I suffer from an overly enthusiastic mouse finger because I posted before I finished writing. ;)

Thuchan,

it's not a trifling thing to consider a product like a Caliburn. your comment that certain tt's "do not push my emotions very much" tells all. looking at your already formidable array of analog beauties which i'm sure you highly enjoy, what will it take to go to the 'next' level?......"to push my emotions"? you already have excellent tt's, but how to get to the top of the heap?

i can relate. although 7 years ago when i purchased my Sirius III there was less a question about 'top dog'. not that there was or ever will be universal agreement on performance with tt's. cars, or most anything.

what will be interesting will be to come back a year or so after your purchase decision and see how you then view things in terms of your other tt's. did it 'push your emotions?'

it's fun to see people who clearly are 'all-in' on the hobby pursue the best.

enjoy.

Heck, if you can afford to buy the best - why the hell not. One just needs to listen to ensure it is best for you.

I for one would much prefer to spend my hard earned money on hifi than a Porsche :-)

rauliregas---Your suggestion regarding testing the tonearm alone is a wise one. Have you heard it yourself?
