The Basis is the superior table. It has a better suspension, tighter tolerances on the bearing, heavier and better balanced platter. The arm board is a work of art. I had the Cosmos; it is a fine table for the money. The Basis that you are considering is in a different league.

Hello Steve:

Greetings!

Have you tried the upgraded Phantom bearing?
If not, you would be surprised at the level of improvement resulting from this seemingly minor change.

Hi George,

I wasn't aware of the bearing upgrade. I guess I sould contact my dealer and order one. Is it available on-line?

I have been involved lately with PC audio-USB Dac, etc. I have a new Wavelelngth Crimson Dac coming. I will be getting back to my vinyl this week since I'm off.

Hope you and your family have a good Thanksgiving.
