The ASR Basis Exclusive phono equalizer review is now live at Positive Feedback Online here.

Here's a few snippets from the review:

"Like the Emitter II amplifier, the ASR Basis Exclusive phono equalizer is a remarkable product that will delight those vinyl lovers lucky enough to own one."

"The Basis Exclusive consists of two chassis connected by a giant umbilical cable that is hardwired to the main chassis and connects with a multi-pin connector to the battery power supply."

"One of the most notable conclusions I came to when listening to music with the ASR Basis Exclusive combined with the Fi and Sophia Electric 300B amplifiers, was how much of a positive difference that huge battery power supply of the Basis Exclusive makes to overall performance on dynamics in the music."

"Ok, now that I've talked about two of the Basis Exclusive's most obvious traits—its impressive & effortless dynamic prowess, and its neutral & chameleon-like nature when combined with other electronics—let's move on and talk about its sonic and musical performance in a broader sense, using the ASR Emitter II Exclusive Version Blue amplifier as the reference amplification source."

"But there's still more going on here with the ASR Basis Exclusive than those descriptions of sonic & musical attributes allude to, there's a third level of performance that emerged that I have been quite intrigued by. The way that Friedrich has combined the artist's palette of sonic & musical attributes in the ASR Basis Exclusive transcends normal descriptive terminology in a way that I haven't quite come to grips with articulating fully yet."

"In combination with the ASR Emitter II Exclusive Version Blue amplifier, the ASR Basis Exclusive phono equalizer connected me with the emotional content of the music better than anything I have ever had the pleasure of listening to, and I enjoyed this combination more than any other combination of audio electronics I have ever listened to."
