Basis Turntables: Worth it or Ripoff?

I met AJ twice and he was such a nice, soft-spoken gentleman.  You could also tell how passionate he was about getting the best out of analogue gear.

I know it is time for me to get a new belt.  I will be ordering one shortly. 

I like the Sota tables too.  They represent very good value. 
 

@larryi, for all intents and purposes my Sota is a Basis Debut with a wood cover on it. Great minds think alike:-)

Entry level Basis is better than top of line Rega

Costs went up greatly. We will see this with all audio soon I think. 

I started with a basis 1400 signature and moved up to a 2200 signature with a vector 4 tonearm a few years ago.

The dealer that got me back into vinyl carried Basis and VPI.  I am sure glad he steered me to Basis.

It put me out of the digital business for good!  I sorely miss AJ.  He was a real gentleman and visionary.
