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?

Hi Mike,

Thanks for sharing your perspective. You have a reference system/room and I benefit from your experience.

Safe trip home,

Mike and Kipdent, thanks for your valuable reports and insights. That`s fantastic. How small the world can be !!
The small Wilsons are different to the big ones - but the Sasha is the new model - hmm

Halcro, this is a fantastically designed living room. The High-End equipment is integrated in a very special way. Your pictures enable views of the Caliburn I did not have so far. Nevertheless what is your friend cooking on the table? :-)

Hi Halcro,

Great pics! What's the function of the chrome-type cylinder proximate to the tonearm?

Thanks,
Sam

Sam, you mean the VTA tower of the Cobra I suppose.
They tested the Cobra arm seperately in a German magazine with very good results - but in German magazines you´ll find only positive statements - no balanced comments or suggestions for improvements, tss.

I am leaving now Vegas heading towards my next stop on this Continuum journey - Singapore.

Hi Sam,
As Tuchan says, the chrome cylinder is in fact the support for the arm pivot and is the method for raising and lowering the VTA of respective arms.

Wow Tuchan, I didn't know you were moving so quickly?
Did you see (hear) anything of interest at CES?
