Basis AJ Conti Transcendence Turntable with SuperArm 9 or SuperArm 12.5
We are indeed fortunate to be living in the Golden Age of analog. And nothing epitomizes this more than the Transcendence with either the Superarm 9 or the Superarm 12.5 playing your treasured records! Usually the Transcendence is configured with either a single tonearm or dual arms. For example, the reason that some people choose a dual arm setup is to have one dedicated arm for a stereo cartridge and the other for a mono cartridge. In fact you can use either the Supearm 9 and/or the Superarm 12.5 in various configurations up to a maximum of four tonearms on a turntable. Now that we have have it set up for demonstration in the store and have listened to it extensively, we have to say that this is one amazing sounding turntable! Rather than being just another really good sounding turntable/tonearm combo, this is something very special. It is much more reminiscent of listening to a recording as opposed to listening to a record--and that distinction is really the highest level of praise possible of an analog front end. You are cordially invited to bring in your favorite vinyl and hear it for yourself. Prepare to be utterly amazed! More Info
