Continuum Caliburn - really the best TT on earth?

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...

This is a problem us multi table users face, in fact a bona bona fide dilemma! What to do...what to do...

One solution is multiple phono stages and transformers. I went this route fearing though the long interconnect runs to the main preamp (currently a Wyetech Opal). This actually worked out well, the Wyetech has four or five line inputs so I can switch tables click-click-click. I did not notice any sonic degradation with the longer runs and the versatility is fantastic.

I stand in front of the system like a conductor with his orchestra and select the different players... Mr. Brier or Mr. Koetsu, or Mr. Mark Levinson, or Mr. van den Hull, or Mr. Carr. It's marvelous.

Echart,
I took one glance at your new pictures and I have come up with an easy problem solving solution.

No more moving Wilsons, no more juggling phonostages around, basically no more head aches 'err' back aches.
Directly behind the Contimuum there sits a turntable that takes up too much shelf space and is hard to dust.I can arrange for someone to pick it up and get it out of your road.
