Basis Turntables: Worth it or Ripoff?


Are the Basis turntables and arms (ie, Vector 4) worth their asking price? They seems very expensive for you apparently are getting?

Basis makes a great high precision item with a very high performance level. The Basis tonearm is an excellent tonearm. I had a Vector 3 and the performance, compared to a Rega or something in that range, was so much better it was hard for me to believe my ears.
"orpheus10 Jperry, you compared Vector 3 to Rega, but you did not give a model number for the Rega."

I
 compared the Basis Vector 3 to a Basis branded Rega, a Rega 600, and a Rega based Origin OL-1 silver.

It was significantly better than all of them. Better bass response and the imaging was so much better it is hard to describe. I was using a Shelter 901 cartridge at the time.
