I don't like the looks of the Basis, but I have to pick it. It has vacuum hold-down and that is important in terms of sound quality. I would rather not have a unipivot tonearm, but I also don't particularly like the Dynavector tonearm. Oh, well, I guess I'll live with the Basis monstrosity. I'll put it right next to my Rockport Sirius III that I got last week. ;-)
Best regards,

It's not a true unipivot. It does not have azimuth rocking movement like typical unipivot designs because it has a secondary ball bearing to stabilize it. It's quite clever, really. It belongs to a genre that's faux-unipivot or uni and half that they all feature a stabilizing system that's more than low slung counterweight. The Vector arm is similar to Continuum's Cobra and Copperhead and Graham Phantom and Nottingham Space arm, etc.... , all have a secondary bearing in addition to the main spike bearing.The downside is that it probably has slightly more friction than pure unipivot.
