Continuum Caliburn - really the best TT on earth?
Narrod and Elinor, of course you are right too and I do see from your statements you have quite an understanding of analogue business in this segment.we might see some improvements, also on the design side, in this week. So it is an ongoing journe...

I have now testet the Micro Seiki HS-80 - which is a passive flywheel- on my MS 8000 and the VPI SDS/dual motor flywheel - which is an active flywheel - on my MS 8000 II.Both flywheels stabilize the sound picture but the VPI combo is some kind of ...

Audiofeil, if you do feeling lectured by >Dertonearm`s long explanations you may not draw any positive or additional information for you. In this case you either are more sophisticated in TT design as Dertonearm and the discussion is boring you... 
Upgrade from TW Acustic Raven AC-3 to what?
Dear Dertonarm,I see your point very well, if someone will invest the money i´d rather like watching the race between active and passive isolation by myself - just for interest.The question remains if it is worth the investment. Nevertheless you a...
