VPI Aries vs Basis Turntable...which one???


Anyone compare the VPI Aries against the Basis TT? I am not sure which model of the Basis compares to the Aries?? Is it the 2500?? 2100???

Any advice?

Wonder if if we factored in bang for buck how things would stack up.VPI has a lush sound.Otherss may give more rhythnic pace or dynamics.I have Aires extended with a 12.5.Am thinking of going smaller and maybe pocketing a few bucks.Was reading Fremmer compare the latest Rega P9 @$3500 with the new 1000 arm and he said it was more percise than the $5500 Aires/12.5 but that the stage was bigger and more lush with the VPI.Wish there were more options than the Final Tool and Nottingham for somebody like me who would like more than one arm.The nicething about a VPI is that once set up it stays set up.Maybe not to the same degree the Rega or the SME 10 stays put but the Gyrodeck,Linn, and others need to be re-setup.Maybe that Wally tactor stuff makes more sense with the tables (Usually sprung suspensions) to me re-adjustment easier.Biut I like a table that stays put after set up.Anybody have anything to say on this and how difficult different designs are to adjust VTA and azimuth etc.Know I am intruding on somebosy lese's thread but I think these are important factors.Thoughts?
