Tonearm Options for Basis 2800


Hi All,

I'm wondering if anyone has experience putting something other than a Graham or Vector tonearm on this table. I'm somewhat new to turntables and my perhaps incorrect impression was that with a bit of tweaking most arms could go on most tables, and by tweaking I don't mean radically changing the plinth etc. I was considering putting a Vector 4 on a table that has a Vector 3 and was told (by the big kahoona) that it's not possible because of a "high cup/low cup issue", so I'm just a bit confused.

Thanks

Thanks Jwm. This is a family that knows how great a tonearm can be and how much it affects sound quality, in my opinion more than the TT. Friends of mine in LA/Orange County Audiophile Society are lined up to come check it out.
As good as the Vector 4 arm is, the Basis Superarm 9 blows it away. I just got mine one week ago and trust me, it is jaw dropping. I also put a Lyra Etna cartridge in which is still breaking in. Seems to be a great combination as the Etna is very close to the Atlas which is 3K more. Everything that Jwm and Jebsmith have said about this arm is totally true. I have the Basis Debut fully loaded table. My Vandy 7s love this front end.
