End Game Turntable suggestions

If you're interested in Basis Audio, which it seems you are, I highly recommend the 2500 with the vector tonearm. That said, this option from basis is worth exploring

The debut exceeds the performance of the 2500. It comes with their best tonearm, which is as good a tonearm as one can buy and works best with Basis turntables.

Good luck in your search. Btw, the dynavector xv1s is excellent with the Basis.

I couldn’t agree more on the recommendation for basis tables and vector 4 tonearm.  
 

The debut above Looks like a good deal. I’ve had two basis tables I’m currently using the 2200 signature and can’t imagine a better presentation.

Panzerholz is excellent for sure, but it is also very dense. Thus I see panzerholz as a kind of mass damping, in the same category as any other materials used to the same end. Albeit panzerholz may be the best or one of the best choices. PH for a tonearm wand is also an interesting idea but such a wand will inevitably have a high effective mass, due to the density. Reed offer PH as an option. I believe it’s their highest mass choice.

safebelayer looks like you are trying to sell your Basis table here on the Agon forums which is against policy. You should probably post your ad in the market place on Agon

Densified Wood has a very different measurement to nearly all materials typically used as a Plinth.

From knowledge gathered there are only a few substances that are close in measurement to damping factor measured in a Densified Wood and none of these will be referred to as Typical Material seen in use.

Densified Wood also has a quite different frequency to other materials and it is this combined with the Damping Factor that places it where it is with desirable measurements, and seen ideal to adopt the role of a Plinth, and is becoming used for other roles as well.

Panzerholz, was one of the materials promoted in the earliest days by those who were using science to prove the value of moving away from a Mass Plinth.

Possibly due to the Brand being readily available in Mainland Europe and for quite a period of time in the UK, it is a Densified Wood that has gathered a popular use with those expressing an interest in this side of the Science and available Technology to support it.

It has to be experienced in use, there is not easy ways to describe how it use, a whole new insight into how a recording can sound will manifest.

Combine this with PC Tripe C Wire as Upstream Signal Wire in a Analogue Chain and there is a tremendous amount of betterment on offer.

I really do hope a Cart' is produced with this wire as a Coil Wire in the not too distant, that would make not just one person happy.
