Continuum Caliburn - really the best TT on earth?

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.

David, that was a good one.......!
What a nice attempt to help Eckart out of his misery.....
Cheers,

I recently compared it (Caliburn) to my VPI HRX/ Kuzma 4 Point/ A90 combination and although there were some things that were better, the VPI had a bounce and musicality about it that I just preferred. My friend who has the Caliburn also preferred the way the HRX works with Jazz and 60's Soul.

The TW tables I am not keen on. They may been good'n'all but I can't get with the design. Also, the Raven One AC I had on demo sounded too mechanical and not a patch on the HRX. The Caliburn is beautiful to look at and if I had the funds right now I would buy one on looks alone!
