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

Syntax is correct, I had my Ovation upgraded with the Debut's vacuum platter, bearing and motor. Not sure if it's available for the other tables, but it was a very worthwhile upgrade. People thinking of the upgrade should contact AJ at Basis.

And echoing Tubes 108, I will add that I now use Basis cabling through my system, and am very pleased with how natural and real they make the music sound. AJ claims that they virtually eliminate distortions you hear with many other cables, and I have to agree with him. Pricy and very heavy, but one of the best choices I have made for my system. Now if I can only figure a way to get a Vector 4 or Superarm into my system.
