New to these shores is the Caliburn turntable ($50,000: continuumaudiolabs.com) from Continuum Audio in Australia. Another looker, it has a futuristic retro feel, with stunning metal work that shines like the bumper of a cherry ’55 Chevy. It weighs 150 pounds and the platter alone comes in at 85. That heavy platter is supported with a maglev system that creates an effective net weight of ounces instead of pounds for the belt drive mechanism to make the thing spin with practically no effort whatsoever. It also features a revolutionary tone arm made from a secret organic material. It played some Miles Davis to great effect and kept everyone in the room glued to the music

I'm a DJ and I want 2 of them. :eek: :eek: :eek:
 
Those analogue types believe anything. Especially with a price tag.
 
:eek: :eek: :eek:

For that much money, the needle ought to be made out of diamond or something ;)
 
i love websites that force you to sit thru a ton of needless animation.

Miles Davis will do that.

And now, it's time for another of Dave's famous Marketing-speak to English translations.

The Federal Trade Commission has just released its import embargo on the latest weapon of mass rotation: the Caliburn turntable ($50,000: continuumaudiolabs.com) from Continuum Audio in Australia.

Looking almost as expensive as the price tag, it is made almost entirely of genuine Philip glass, with metal trim made from the bumper of a rusted out ’55 Chevy. It weighs more than my last girlfriend, and the platter alone could easily bludgeon a baby seal.

That heavy platter is magnetic, so it will eat any computer put nearby. Electomagnets hold the platter up, at least until the permament magnet wears down. In a few decades, it will ensure that not even the Governator can make it spin without turning it off first.

It also features a surprisingly overpriced tone arm made from dried meat. It played some Miles Davis in much the same way as a cactus needle in a styrofoam cup, so everyone in the room was glued to his/her chair and forced to listen to the music.

By the way, I've heard the secret organic material is processed salami.
