Has anyone heard the ASR Basis Exclusive?

i had a Basis HD (aka exclusive, mod. year 2004, + newest 2005 mods). i ended up selling the unit for a ACR PH5 wich is a lot more juicy and less mechanical sounding even if it has not 100% of the ASR´s dynamics. but therefor the PH5 is more 3 dimensional sounding. for my taste the PH5 is more revealing...i also compared the ASR with the PH5 and a E.a.r. 834p in another system than mine (Kronzilla monos, tannoy canterbury, manley 300b preamp) and also in this system i didnt liked the ASR by comparison. i now at least 2 persons who had the ASR at home and think the same about the ASR as me.

oh and i compared the ASR with my other preamp (E.a.r. 834p) and a Roksan DX2 Ref. in a hifi store (cabasse altura bahia, linn pre/power amp?, clearaudio tt, benz ruby 2)at least the difference between the roksan and the asr where not big, no whole different quality level as i had awaited, the roksan was (even if it also is SS) a bit warmer.

oh by the way...when i was in the ASR factory in herborn/germany to get the updates...the guy who is responsible for fitting and servicing the Basis HD/Exclusive told me that in the near future there will be a new big phonostage from ASR with the possibility of 3 inputs!!!
