| Continuum Caliburn - really the best TT on earth? So I guess one "reason not to go for a Caliburn", as you originally asked, is that it costs so much?i think a better way to look at it is that the cost/benefit ratio is not sufficient to close the deal.not a matter of means but of value.he is alre... | |
| SHOW attendees: please post speaker reports here i was only at CES (the Venetian) for about 4 hours on Saturday afternoon, and then only early Saturday am and early Sunday am at T.H.E. Show at the Flamingo. So my perceptions are not in any way complete. my understanding is that by Saturday most ... | |
| Continuum Caliburn - really the best TT on earth? Syntax,after CES your link hit the spot, thanks.we are a sorry lot, aren't we. | |
| alternative power supply for Garrard 301 i use the Loricraft PSU 301 AR on my Dobbins-Garrard 301. i have not heard it without the Loricraft so i cannot really say how much it is contributing to the overall performance. OTOH myself and every other visitor to the room is drawn to the Garr... | |
| Continuum Caliburn - really the best TT on earth? i'm on the way home to Seattle from CES, sitting in the Sacramento airport on the wifi, with 3 hours to kill (the flight is delayed till 8pm).Raul, true, the CES system the Caliburn was in was not familiar to me, but added to my previous experienc... | |
| Continuum Caliburn - really the best TT on earth? yesterday i spent 30 minutes or so at CES listening to the Caliburn. it had an Air Tight Supreme mounted, playing thru ARC electronics.i've listened to the Caliburn 3 other times at shows but never had a true sense of what it's character was compa... | |
| Continuum Caliburn - really the best TT on earth? Thuchan,it's not a trifling thing to consider a product like a Caliburn. your comment that certain tt's "do not push my emotions very much" tells all. looking at your already formidable array of analog beauties which i'm sure you highly enjoy, wha... | |
| Isolation for a table for floors with movement Dev,thanks for the details on your set-up.from what you say it sounds like the floor is the way it's going to be. the only other 'floor' idea is to get something large, dense and heavy and try it under your rack. it's possible it might 'ground' th... | |
| Isolation for a table for floors with movement hi Dev,there are lots of good ideas in the above posts. my current room has 6" of concrete on a ground floor. my previous room was a suspended wood floor over a crawl space. i did pour some concrete pads in the crawl space and rig some cross membe... | |
| Direct Drive turntables FWIW, I vote that agon creates a science first forum where opinions must be backed by data (or references thereto).there are lots of forums where 'prove it' is dominant. in those forums few focus on listening, and it's interesting how the 'sceinti... | |
| Direct Drive turntables ....could define that timing then why three different TT: SP-10, Monaco and Walker ( I can't find the spec on the Rockport. ) with the same spec on speed: 0.001%, sounds so different?add two zeros (accurate to within 10 parts per million) next to ... | |
| Direct Drive turntables Raul,Lp performance has many interconnected variables, we all agree on that. how an Lp is rotated on a platter is just one of those varibles. am i hung up a bit on this issue exclusively? yes and no.notice i use the term 'preferrer' when descibing... | |
| Direct Drive turntables lots of sound logic (pun intended) in these posts. the last 2, from Teres and Radical Steve, ring true with me.i'm a direct drive 'preferrer'....and also enjoy what a good idler can do for musical enjoyment with it's added 'spice'. i've heard many... | |
| Ortofon MC A90 cartridge beyond the review of the A90 in Stereophile, i did speak to Fremer at RMAF about the A90.....which was early October. the November Stereophile had not yet been mailed which contained the review, but it was being given away at RMAF (although i had ... | |
| Is sooloos worth the money? it should be pointed out that Sooloos is owned by Meridian and marketed by 'brick and mortar' High End Home Theatre stores that typically have 2-channel as a sideline. it's not directed at the hard core enthusiast audiophile primarily but more a p... |
