Description
The ASR Basis Exclusive is a true benchmark in high-end analog audio reproduction. Engineered with uncompromising precision in Germany, this dual-mono phono preamplifier is designed for discerning audiophiles who demand nothing less than reference-grade vinyl playback. It supports both moving magnet (MM) and moving coil (MC) cartridges, with fully adjustable loading and gain to suit the most demanding analog front ends.
What sets the Basis Exclusive apart is its dual-chassis design—one for the amplification section and one for the power supply—minimizing interference and ensuring an ultra-clean signal path. The device boasts extremely low distortion, exceptional channel separation, and a class-leading signal-to-noise ratio, revealing the full dynamic range and tonal nuance embedded in your records.
Its discrete, high-current circuitry, precision RIAA equalization, and huge capacitance reserves result in musicality that is rich, natural, and lifelike. Whether you listen to jazz, classical, or rock, the ASR Basis Exclusive delivers breathtaking realism with depth, space, and emotional engagement.
Housed in a low-resonance acrylic chassis, it’s as visually striking as it is sonically impressive. The Basis Exclusive is not just a phono preamp—it’s a statement piece built for analog perfectionists.
