Re: Replace B&W 603

I like the Basis table. I am not sure I will ever use the upgrade path to Basis’s high end tables, but knowing it is there is nice. I was comparing it mainly to the Rega P25. To be honest I did not hear a big difference between them, but thought the Basis was a bit tighter and clearer.

The Clearaudio Aurum Beta cartridge is ok, but the highs seem a bit compressed to me. The shelter 501 has gotten great reviews on this site, but I have never heard it. At some point in the future I am going to try and find someone with it so I can audition it.

I have listened to the kestrels. They were really nice, but the Shearwaters sounded a lot better to me. I may just get Kestrels though. I have heard that they are much easier to place and less dependent on the room.
