CALIBURN’S DESIGN HISTORY
Passion is a powerful force; shared passion
is twice as powerful.
Mark Doehmann, Caliburn’s Chief Designer, believed his
passion for analogue sound was unmatched, until he met
David Payes.
Mark Doehmann has been building custom turntables
for a select clientele for over 20 years. These turntables
aimed to solve the particular problems of each system,
by trading off advantage against disadvantage in an
attempt to create a balance Mark knew, to his frustration,
was ultimately a compromised solution. Compromise
he accepted as inevitable in his quest for the purest
analogue sound possible.
David Payes is a well-respected Australian businessman
and a passionate audiophile. During the installation of
a highly regarded turntable onto David’s system and the
subsequent evaluation of the results, David asked Mark,
if money was no object, what would he do to improve the
turntable. Thinking in terms of this being a theoretical
conversation, Mark nominated the platter as the first
thing he would change. David response was ”Ok, do it”.
CALIBURN’S
DESIGN
HISTORY
THE CALIBURN IS THE FRUIT OF COLLABORATION
Many very intelligent minds were brought together to
push the envelope of what was imagined possible for
turntable technology, and we would like acknowledge
each one of them now.
Mark Doehmann
- Chief Designer
Marks’ passion for analogue sound reproduction combined
with his background in aeronautical and advanced
software engineering and materials fabrication techniques
was used to transform his vision from the “virtual world”
to the end product that is the Caliburn and the Cobra.
David Payes
- Chairman, Continuum Audio Labs
David was the catalyst for the development of the
Caliburn, and created the financial and creative freedom
to push the envelope. David is a passionate audiophile
and has had extensive input with technical design issues.
