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?

It´s done! Everything is fine. The Copperhead is a delicate but excellent tonearm. I wouldn`t like to change the cartridge too many times in the Copperhead.

From my experience the weight scales in the manual are not exact.

I have put some pics under my system

Thuchan,

Don't be afraid to move the Continuum and stand from out of the soundstage. In all its eagerness to please its new owner it may want to sing along with the music or at least annoy the singer on the stage between the speakers :)

Was that Norah Jones?

Breuninger,

you are absolutely right. I have to think about a new position for the stand and the caliburn. The current position is sub-optimal. Nevertheless this looks like a luxury problem but I have to reach the transformers and phono stages.

You see it never ends...

as a first measurement I pulled the loudspeakers some 25 cm into the room - not bad.

BTW - it`s fun moving the Wilsons around...
