Who can tell me the sizes of a Basis Debut MK-5 ?

Someone here may know but why not email Basis? basis_info@basisaudio.com They have always responded within a day.

Unless Basis has changed their design since my three Debut Gold's, your better off with a Debut Gold IV than a V.

The platter weight was cut on the model V allowing the same platter to be used on several (lower priced) models. I'm sure it makes sense to reduce assembly expense but seems a shame to reduce the quality of the flagship model.

AJ told me the Debut V was better (lower wow and flutter) and we discussed this at length, but in the end my listening tests proved to me, the model V was less dynamic, less "deep" bass and less involving musically than the model IV.

Since then I bought a Walker. It's 75 pound platter has proven itself, providing even greater dynamics and deep bass then the Basis model IV.

In any case the Walker motor controller works on the Walker (obviously) and the Basis Debut IV and V and provides a substantial upgrade. I suggest you try one regardless of which model you go with.

Albert,as someone who could see myself considering a table like the Basis Vacuum,in the future,your comments are quite interesting to me.I will NOW consider this and possibly look elsewhere,when that time arrives.

I intend to sell my home,and business in about 3 years,and am always considering what set-up I will be morphing into,at that time.That is one reason I was so interested in your Megalines with tube crossover,as opposed to SS!I do intend to make some system changes,at that time,and love to ponder what they may be.Your comments,in general,are very interesting.Thanks for being so upfront,and a nice guy overall.
