| Continuum Caliburn - really the best TT on earth? Forgot to ask, in what ways does the Caliburn differ from or improve upon the Criterion? | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dave, I paid $500 for my NOS B&O MMC1 several months ago. I am glad to know that my investment now makes sense.Re the MP50 vs M20FL comparison, I have no basis for confirming or disputing your conclusion, but if we scroll back up the thread a ... | |
| Continuum Caliburn - really the best TT on earth? Thanks very much. The photo answers my question quite nicely. I take it that the magnetic suspension effectively isolates the tonearm mounting board from the rest of the chassis. The design is beautifully executed. On their website, Continuum site... | |
| TTWeights new Black Onyx Idler drive Turntable Albert Einstein was a New Age Albert Einstein. I don't think Larry would want to be raised quite to that standard. By the way, I just bought a couple of sets of the big adjustable TT Weights feet, the ones made for Christine but which are availabl... | |
| Question regarding reputation of SOTA tables I owned a Sota Star Sapphire Series III (with vacuum) for most of the 1990s. It was an excellent table. However, there are now better ones available, IMO. Among those that are superior, I would include the Sota Cosmos and Millenium. I think they'v... | |

| Continuum Caliburn - really the best TT on earth? Dear Thuchan, I am a bit confused. Which one did you end up with, Criterion or Caliburn? Also, I went to the Continuum website to try to get some idea of the design and construction of these products. They don't show any photos of the platter and ... | |
| Ortofon A90 review.... wrong choice of gear Fact is, most reviews are worthless except to tell you the features of the product under test. You mention the phono stage, but I also have to wonder about the tonearm and turntable that were used, not to mention the linestage, amps, spkrs, wires,... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? We don't have a decently powerful radio station anywhere near where I live, along the Potomac River just outside of Washington, DC, to be any significant source of RFI. Nor do we have any heavy industry at all in this area. I've never had a proble... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Not necessarily. There may be some special voodoo at play when you hook to the Allnic that is not the fault of the Allnic. Try some shielding around the Allnic. You can wrap it in that TI Shield from Mike Percy. There are other sources of flexible... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Yep, that's RFI. Sometimes shielding helps, but one needs to experiment with the shield. Mike Percy sells some Texas Instruments sheet material that is very good for RFI and EMI. The product is called "TI Shield". Since it is flexible, you can fol... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? The important thing is not to fall off the performance ladder. You could hurt yourself. Can you help me by describing the set-up you used to make your comparisons? Is there any consistent element, or did you use different headshells, tonearms, tab... | |
| Best TT plinth material, cost no object Theaudiotweak, Not sure whether I would agree with you, but check out the new TT Weights turntables if you like brass. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Henry, Who knows? RFI is a strange phenomenon. As long as you are rid of it, that is the important thing. I have a feeling that the Copperhead tonearm is really the best product out of Continuum, or at least it's the only one I have any hope ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I just read Montepilot's post. What is it that you guys are calling "RF"? Can you describe what you hear? Is it in both channels or only one? Thanks. |
