Now that people are coming around to the fact that vinyl albums are worth the investment, how about something to bring out that warm glow provided by the round disc.
Let me introduce you to the Continuum line of record players. Look how sexy this bad boy is. I don't know whether to play my copy of Exile on Main Street on it or make love to it.
When a collaboration of like-minds, driven by a shared passion, combine their considerable knowledge, talents and resources with the desire to create something beyond the state-of-the-art, special things can happen. The ordinary constraints that normally limit most endeavours can suddenly disappear. The AIM FOR PERFECTION becomes the driving force, the only constraint. The result of such a collaboration is Caliburn-Cobra-Castellon.
Some may say that buying a turntable like this is an emotive choice not a rational decision, they also said the earth was flat.
Well, fuck, man. If Jesus wanted to play records, he would buy this.
Check out the features: Nested Platter Design using our new proprietary formula for Magnesium Alloy. 30kg Mass of platter assembly 330mm Diameter. New MILSPEC Alloy used for highly damped platter ballast. New Fully Sealed Self Lubricating Highly Damped Rigid Bearing Design with Inverted 30mm Bearing shaft of special alloy running in ultra hard steel bushings.
Self Lubricating? Darn, no more lubricating my record player.
The cost of this fine piece of machinary? I wish I was making this up, but the Caliburn will run you $112,000. The arm that holds the needle starts at $12,000. Don't worry, they make a modestly priced model for $90,000.
Now, for that kind of money I can hire The White Stripes to play Elephant in my living room. You would think for that price, the makers could find a design that didn't make the record player look like a prop from Miami Vice.
