Continuum Caliburn Cobra Price around $120,000)

An Aussie turntable rated by many as the world's best (and most expensive)

That does it for me, stunning in sound and looks without looking completely OTT and ridiculous like some of the other "mega tables" l love the clean lines of that $10k Thorens you just posted too Sheds, modern but retro.

Cheers,

Nothing wrong here:

Teres 360

I posted this the other day in TT porn thread.

Pictured here with Schroeder & Morch UP-4

Platter apparently weights ~30kgms & entire rig ~85kgms.

Price unsure?

Indeed very tasty. ;)

Nostro,

Scary. :rolleyes: I just had that particular model (slightly different photo) ready to paste into the thread and noticed your post. What do they say about great minds...? :o

And the Teres Certus Model 460 with matching Gibraltar stand (as you have illustrated) sells for US$25,500 or $18,500 without the stand.

cheers

Gotta be the wood grain 2sheds......and a bargain too it seems. ;)

Now I wonder what the cost of freight out here would be? I might just have to wait to get the arms & cartridges of my choice, but in the meantime it will be a pleasure to gaze at.

Nostro,

Yes, a relative bargain when you compare it to some of the steel and perspex monsters....:rolleyes:

And a Garrott Decca.

In the mean time an old Rock + Excaliber +Denon 103 will have to do when I drag it out of storage soon, and I finish the Garard 401 project with an SME 300 arm.

tx-1000-h.jpg

Nakamichi TX-1000 (Long out of production)

Nakamichi's engineering marvel which mad records sound wonderful by centring the to within 0.01mm, improving the sound, particularly pitch. Details here. It cost $7,500 when new ( a Rega Planar 3 was around $300)

cheers

Those Yorkes are very nice ... if i'm not mistaken, Mikey Fremer used to have one until he upgraded to the Continuum.

Yes, I agree Keith. In the style stakes they would have to be pretty close to the top of the tree. And they apparently sound very, very good.

cheers

at a quick glance i thought it said 'vulgar' ... wouldnt have been far off the mark:D

Ohhh - unkind, Grifter :o I liked the fact that these guys (Italian company) tried to put a little (OK - a lot :rolleyes:) colour into the dreary silvers and perspex which dominate todays designs. Maybe in the pool room...;)

There seems to be a problem with one of your posts 2Sheds, the SL-1200 Mk2 isn't loading :rolleyes:

Darn, I thought I was covering up my bias against Direct Drives, Asteroid ;) If you have to go direct drive how about one of these....

l-07d-h.jpg

Kenwood L-07D One of the greatest direct drive turntables ever made.

Pioneer Exclusive P3 In 1980 this was the finest Japanese turntable available.

Then again @ ~80K The Blue Pearl Audio JEM TT is quite a reasonable rig. :o

More scrumptious pics of this TT here:

Plus you'll find some other great pics of TT's but also plenty of other gear.

This isn't too bad either: :rolleyes:

Sorry, Nostro - to me that Vyger looks like a cross between a thermo nuclear device and an ashtray ;) Definitely not my cup of tea....:D

Pioneer the best Japanese TT in 1980, what about the Micros? Wait a minute, that thing does have more than a passing resemblance to a Micro Seiki.

DS

DS,

The pinnacle of Micro Seiki turntables came a couple of years later, I believe (LZ 1T and SX 8000 II). And the Pioneer weighed in at a rather healthy 49kg. Even the tonearm seems to have designs on the Micro Seiki MAX 282....I would not be at all surprised if there was not collaboration between the 2 manufacturers :rolleyes:

cheers

Oye :o Fair suck of the sav, Tim :rolleyes: I'm not grey....yet :D It doesn't seem to hang around that long...

And please tell me you don't have one of those Nakamichi record players, stuck away in your collection...;)

cheers

Likewise.. very hard to go grey if you are an eggshell blonde:D

Nope.. completely free of Nakamichi turntables ;).. does a brochure for the TX1000 count??? about as close as I'll get ..Like most of what has been on show here.. waaayyy out of my price range.. especially as I will have to pay using the south pacific peso very soon :o

Prefer my Garrards in anycase :D... I have a fondness for hulking great turntables with lotsa strobe markings.. makes 'em look techo :D

Altogether very ordinary in this company....but 20 years ago?? ;)

TT,

Sounds like something Mrs Sheds said to me recently... :o

I reckon the Goldmund T5 still looks remarkably good (I'm not a fan of perspex). And I reckon you could pick one up for a darn sight less than the $300,000 asking price of the latest Goldmund...:rolleyes:

cheers
