"The incredible precision of the BASIS bearing and platter system will allow you to feel the emotion of the music’s natural flow. The unequaled effectiveness of the BASIS fluid-damped suspension will open up your system’s soundstage, letting you hear low-level details such as echoes deep in the sound field more clearly than you have experienced before. Each instrument’s natural timbre will be portrayed with uncanny realism, and the entire presentation will be without the exaggeration and artificial air that the resonances of lesser designs create. Our goal at BASIS is that this effortlessness and realism allow you to relax and appreciate the music more than you ever have before. "-Basis Audio
