"The Caliburn-Cobra excelled at every aspect of vinyl reproduction. As the noise floor dropped lower than I had ever imagined possible, it dug new low-level information out of most records I played.

I was constantly being surprised by musical information buried in the mix I’d never before heard. Yet there was no sense of hyperreality or enhanced image edge or tipping-up top end. And with the elimination of “overhang”, the Caliburn’s abilities, too, were second to none.."- Michael Fremer Stereophile

"The most immediate impression is a double edged attack; inky-black background silences, allied to a dynamic span that borders on the impossible. it is as wideband a source as I have heard this side of 15ips tape, LP pressing and cartridge allowing. I rate the session only slightly below driving a Ferrari at Monza. Well a lot below  driving a Ferrari at Monza but still worthy of inclusion in the same paragraph nonetheless. The Caliburn may just be the most complex, radical and advanced turntable ever made, some might find it too overwhelming. But sonically? I understand clearly why Mikey (Michael Fremer) went into debt for one. It is that outstanding. The arm's name is also the same as that of a celebrated nut-job sportscar of the 1960's an icon that has never been knocked of its perch. How utterly appropriate." - HiFi news october issue 2006, Ken Kessler

About Continuum

By questioning the dogma that has existed in turntable design for close to a century, Continuum Audio Laboratories discovered several key design parameters that have limited the analogue medium from reaching its ultimate potential.

Through the use of advanced 3D artificial intelligence modelling tools (NASTRAN, DYTRAN, PATRAN, Reshape™), a true picture of the forces involved in a turntable emerged. Many questions were asked and answered

Suffice to say that each and every design parameter and commonly accepted wisdom was questioned at its fundamental level.

Surprising results were discovered which led us to conclude that only a select group of engineers really understood the physics of turntable design.

In fact some designs highlighted a process in which visual aesthetics were generating a set of beliefs about acoustic performance.

The challenge we set ourselves was to build
a benchmark to prove beyond all doubt that there was much more information left in the groove than had previously been extracted.

Thus, “Caliburn” was born.
