About the Basis Exclusive HV

The ASR Basis Exclusive HV is one of the most advanced phono preamplifiers on the market, designed for audiophiles seeking ultimate analog playback fidelity. It features a large buffering capacity of 1,300,000 uF with new high-voltage (40V) electrolytic capacitors (Elkos) in both the main unit and the external battery power supply, ensuring an extremely stable and clean power source. The unit supports two stereo inputs with fully independent, fully balanced MM/MC preamplifier circuitry for each input, allowing instant switching between two tonearms or turntables. It offers balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (RCA) inputs and outputs. The phono stage delivers a very precise bass performance and a wide, well-defined soundstage with high resolution and low noise floor. The main chassis is constructed from acrylic glass for rigidity and resonance-free operation, enhancing neutrality and smoothness in sound reproduction. The unit is universally adjustable in gain from 32 to 64 dB, with adjustable input impedance and capacitance to match various cartridges. Dimensions are approximately 43 x 37 x 12 cm for the main unit and 46 x 33 x 16 cm for the battery power supply, weighing 10 kg and 26 kg respectively. The
