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?

Thucham is already in TT bliss; I mean who can ever recall having listened to, and in a great system, tables such as the SX8000, SX8000 II, Naka......

So what have we got here? Great air bearing, great air bearing and vacuum platter, the best (only besides the smaller Naka?) self centering TT with space technology speed control (from the 80's).

What TT's offered any significant technological advance over those 3 ? Except better bearings, better etc....nothing really new? we would all like to know about them.

Does the Continuum in that context makes sense, does it have true technological innovations applied to TT's?

To contemplate the idea of having any Continuum ontop of the other 3 is just marvelous, to do it is out of this world. If Thuchan takes the step and gets one he will probably be the only man on earth to talk with authority about the differences.

Hey Thuchan any spare seats in that room?
I think we can all thank Thuchan for his detailed account of this adventure, Thuchan is a valued asset to this community.

Most certainly Thuchan is one of the rare “audio freaks” on this plant to indulge in such superlative comparisons, dancing between the best turntables on the planet, feeding some of the finest electronics, speakers, cables in a purpose built room!

I am certain that that Thuchan will take us on his next adventures, heaven knows what he has in mind!
