| New analog rig(t.t.,tonearm,phono drive) @mijostyn Thanks for the great information. Interesting that Vertere does not want a record clamp or vacuum but a free floating LP. It goes against nearly every other company.Vertere states that their tonearm is not a unipivot. As does Basis with... | |
| New analog rig(t.t.,tonearm,phono drive) @millercabon You thought that the RB300 was a workhorse. This might be a dopey question but do you feel the same about the RB900? That's what I have now with my Basis 2001 sans liquid suspension. I've been wondering if I am underselling the 2001/R... | |
| New analog rig(t.t.,tonearm,phono drive) Thanks for your thoughts. One option is to get the Vertere MG-1 table and buy a separate arm...I currently have a Rega RB900 arm on my Basis but want to upgrade. I am curious about the Audio Note TT3 in that it has a suspended table but more for t... | |
| New analog rig(t.t.,tonearm,phono drive) Yeah. It sounded off to me as well. Just read up on the Audio Note TT3. Suspended turntable with 3 motors.I've never seen a T.T. with 2 motors let alone 3. Looks impressive. While I still haven't made up my mind, I think things are becoming clearer. | |
| New analog rig(t.t.,tonearm,phono drive) Thanks @cardani. I’ve looked at the Xerxes20 plus before. It’s a nice t.t.. Decoupling everywhere....You’d think that Touraj would have taken all the good design in it and put it into the MG-1... I’ve had my Basis 2001 for 20 years so I’m learning... | |
| New analog rig(t.t.,tonearm,phono drive) Thank you for your thorough explanation. While this is sorta new to me, I am trying to do as much research as possible. You are correct about the Basis pods. When I push the plinth down, I hear metal on metal contact inside the pods. It must be th... | |
| New analog rig(t.t.,tonearm,phono drive) Thanks cardani. I wasn’t sure about Vertere’s suspension. I was told by someone who does own the Vertere that the standard Red Line wiring and cables were very,very,very good. So, I’ll take your advice on that. I honestly haven’t researched and do... | |
| New Turntable Direction I do know I need to upgrade my tonearm more than anything. While the 2001 is very precise(as is Basis's slogan)I just am unsure if upgrading the t.t. will add an even higher level of sonics...Yes. I will start my own thread. Thanks. | |
| New Turntable Direction Thanks all but I'm not sure which posts are response to me or the OP. I have a Benz Micro Wood M2 with minimal play that was just serviced at VAS. So it is like brand new. I like my Basis 2001 w/suspension. I've never read a bad thing about Basis.... | |
| New Turntable Direction I’m in the exact same boat as the OP with my Basis 2001 w/ suspension/Rega RB900/McCormack Micro Phono Drive. Love my Basis but updates will be as much as new everything. I’m looking into Vertere. The MG-1 t.t. and SG-1 tonearm. PHONO- 1 phono sta... | |

| Seeking advice on Speakers that create an intimate 2 channel listening experience My room size is nearly the same as yours(maybe 30' wide) and I have Focal-JM Lab Mezzo Utopia speakers each with Jeff Rowland Model 12 monoblocks and they sound fantastic in every way. I do have a JM Lab Sub Utopia so the Mezzo's low frequencies a... | |
| Buying a new TT today Very relevant thread. So many T.T. choices out there...I’m thinking of selling my Basis Audio 2001/modified Rega RB900 with VTA adjust and upgrading to the Vertere Magic Groove MG-1 with the SG-1 tonearm. Everything I’ve read about the Vertere com... |
