About the Basis Exclusive 2010
The ASR Basis Exclusive 2010 is a high-end phono preamplifier designed for audiophiles requiring dual inputs for two tonearms or turntables. It features fully balanced MM/MC preamplifier circuitry for each input, allowing independent adjustment of gain, capacitance, and resistance via DIP switches. The unit consists of two chassis connected by a heavy umbilical cable: the main acrylic glass chassis housing the sensitive audio circuitry and a large external battery power supply providing extremely stable and clean power with a buffering capacity of 1,300,000 µF. Inputs include balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA, with corresponding balanced and unbalanced outputs. The device offers exceptional bass precision, wide and well-defined soundstage, and high resolution detail retrieval from vinyl records. The acrylic glass construction reduces resonance and electromagnetic interference, enhancing neutrality and smoothness of sound. Optional upgrades include WBT silver RCA connectors, Argento Audio silver XLR connectors, rhodium fuses, and a mono switch. The Basis Exclusive 2010 is noted for its soft, relaxing sound suitable for extended listening sessions and is regarded as one of the most advanced phono preamplifiers on the market.
