A lasting statement to analogue playback - the BASIS AUDIO line-up...
AJ Conti is the
founder, president and designer of
Basis Audio, and has done every one
of his company’s products since then.
The Basis turntables are machined from a solid billet of aluminium, and each pod contains a spring under a shaft which has a paddle attached
which runs in the silicon fluid contained within each pod. An oil-filled bearing well is then bolted into the middle of the acrylic chassis, the four pods are screwed in to the chassis and finally the tonearm is mounted. The motor is held in a
heavy, damped steel box, and is a synchronous
AC model which has its magnet assembly modified
by Basis to minimise cogging and lower noise.
A standalone type, it is supported on elastomer
feet, affording it a high level of isolation from
both the bearing and the critical stylus/vinyl
contact point. This motor drives the
platter via a precision ground flat belt. Each
platter and finely toleranced bearing assembly is carefully matched to one another during assembly.
Designer A.J. Conti’s mission for the Basis Inspiration was clear from the beginning: to design a turntable system that performs as closely as possible to the unequalled Basis "Work of Art" at a more accessible cost.
We invite you to come to the store for a demonstration of these fine turntables!
