Another vote for Basis here, not because I have extensive experience with several tables just because I have been 100% satisfied with both of my basis tables. I shopped VPI, Clearaudio, and Basis primarily when I decided to get back into vinly. To Larry's point - they all sounded good at the dealer showrooms but my research and belief that A.J. Conti is such a master craftsman pointed me to basis.
My first table was his entry 1400 signature and essentially ran digital right out of my system. I have since upgraded to the 2200 signature and couldn't be happier. The build quality and suspension system is impressive! It's a tough decision and whatever decision you make I'm sure will be right for you. For me, once I get into a brand of components that's usually where I stay - all tables have long upgrade paths including Basis. Good luck!
