TW-Acustic Arm
Brilliant arguments shown on a thread lead to a loss of certainty by some of the participants I guess. When it comes to feelings they do start to express it changes the scene completely. But I do understand that attacking one´s system leads to dis... 
Continuum Caliburn - really the best TT on earth?
I am married Peter, yes - but not to Continuum. They are using a somehow transparent belt which fits quite well. One could also use a VPI round belt. I am not sure about the material. We have to search for. You can move the motor unit just a littl... 
Continuum Caliburn - really the best TT on earth?
It depends whom you ask, but from my experience the Caliburn is bigger, heavier, got a magnetic support for the really heavy platter, a different air system with air bearing, the control unit and vacuum are different and it is equipped with the Co... 
TW-Acustic Arm
Dgad & Dertonarm : you both are flying in two different planetary systems. No one ever will convince the other of its position anymore. So the discussion doesn´t lead to anything. Let´s wait until we have tested TW`s new arm and come back and ... 
Continuum Caliburn - really the best TT on earth?
Dear Lewm, it`s aContinuum Criterion with a Copperhead tonearm carrying a Lyra Olympos.You`re right you cannot see details on the website of Continuum. Maybe the pic under the following link helps to answer your question. It´s a usual type drive, ... 
Continuum Caliburn - really the best TT on earth?
Breuninger, I have to study this click-click-clock system deeper. Maybe I am saving some sport activities between the units of my system and some more advantages will come up...David, you are on a good track. This is my first TT I bought when I re... 
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... 
Continuum Caliburn - really the best TT on earth?
Breuninger,you are absolutely right. I have to think about a new position for the stand and the caliburn. The current position is sub-optimal. Nevertheless this looks like a luxury problem but I have to reach the transformers and phono stages.You ... 
Continuum Caliburn - really the best TT on earth?
It´s done! Everything is fine. The Copperhead is a delicate but excellent tonearm. I wouldn`t like to change the cartridge too many times in the Copperhead. From my experience the weight scales in the manual are not exact. I have put some pics und... 
TW-Acustic Arm
Hi Dgad, I do understand that Dertonarms position in this thread may provoke resistance. But where when not here can we discuss openly - with open vizor. In the magazines? I don`t think so. In the German Forums - perish this thought!Critizising a ...

Breuninger & Dgad - Peter´s idea is a wonderful idea. We would have so much fun. I would love going to Mexico again, I told Raul why. But why not meet in person at the High-End in Munich in May.May isn´t a bad time in Munich with its wonderful... 
Continuum Caliburn - really the best TT on earth?
Kostas, my decision making started in 2006 at the High End show in Munich. It was more a long time process than a sudden impulse. Nevertheless the thread and the good advices helped me to settle my decision in the end.I cannot give a judgement rig...

The Criterion manual is one of the best of its kind like the Copperhead manual, the arm I will mount on the Criterion. Redscouser, it seems you have experience with that table. Thanks for the advice. You mean using the four screws and moving the b...
