VPI Classic Vs Basis 1400 or 2001

Well, I also asked about the Basis 1400. Does this table compete with the Classic or does the Classic best it?

It sounds like the Classic, although not as good as the Basis 2001, is pretty close.

Its interesting what your reaction is to the poster's advice. I read the responses and got the impression that the Basis 2001 with Graham 2.2 arm is far superior to the Classis 1. You got the impression that they were pretty close. We read the same words, got a different impression.

Tzh21y...I have not heard the Basis 1400 so cannot offer up a comparison for you. Will you have a chance to audition any of these tables in person?

I wish I had the chance to hear a Basis Table. The one thing that concerns me is people indicate that they do not have good bass/small soundstage. Even my scouts bass is decent, not extremely articulating, but I do not think my system is resolving enough for the lowest registers.
