What is my tonearm??

I have a Basis 2001 with a tonearm that says Basis on it. Was always under the impression it was a Rega tonearm. I have a picture I could send to someone familiar with Basis tonearms.

There are many others as well I just can't think of them off my head.

They will all fit the existing cutout in your turntable without cutting. They will work well on your turntable. Are they suitable for the Lyra Clavis? Ask a dozen people and you will get a dozen answers. It wouldn't be my match made in heaven.

But there are a lot of nice options for tonearms with the Rega geometry. I am a big fan of the Audiomods arms.
