New ASR Basis Exclusive 2010

Also (pardon me for not including this bedore), I have extensively utilized both the RCA and XLR connections. I like both very much for different reasons. I find no audible difference beween the two. In this particualr case FWIW.

The version '2010' has also MM inputs [omited from 2005(?)/ 2009]. From an employee by ASR I heard that when using
balanced in one should use RCA out. But the reasons are to
technical for me. He got this information from Scheafer.
I own the 2009 version and agree with Vandermeulen.

Nandric, I HAVE to hear why the employee suggested this. I don’t pretend to have uber-knowledge about many technological aspects of our pastime (...though secretly I strive with endless pursuit of all/any technicalities in high-end audio), but would love to try to get a grip around the explanation.

Mine has copper WBt's but I use the Balanced inputs only.

REgarding the sound eveyone's results will differ but I've owned three generations of the Basis Exclusive and the new 2010 model is so far the best I've heard in my system. It's hard to describe but quiet/dynamic/neutral/ are the simplistic terms to use but this is just right. My Aerial 20T ribbons are unforgiving if there is any noise, etch or glare at the top end. With the new 2010 model top end extension is improved over the previous models and the dead black background is amazing. It works for me.
