As it did for so many other designers and manufacturers of specialty audio gear, the current occupation of Basis owner/designer A.J. Conti began as a hobby and personal quest. A longtime audiophile and home-based dealer of brands like Krell and Quicksilver, Conti decided to build his own "killer" turntable using a fluid-damped suspension.

Waveform Research Mach 17 loudspeaker Measurements

I first heard the Canadian-made Waveform Research Mach 17 loudspeaker system in New York City at HI-FI '96, <I>Stereophile</I>'s Home Theater & Specialty Audio Show. Another Ontario native, <A HREF="http://www.stereophile.com/interviews/996russell">Chris Russell</A> of Bryston Ltd., had raved to me about their sound. His recommendation sent me outside my assigned reporting area and down to the sixth floor of the Waldorf=Astoria, to dimly lit room 602&mdash;full of <A HREF="http://www.stereophile.com/roomtreatments/215">ASC Tube Traps</A>, amplifiers, cables, and the twin truncated pyramids of the Mach 17s.

subwoofer room management

I have a Paradigm Servo 15 sub which had a muddy integration with my Dynaudio Contour 1.8 floorstanders. I elevated the sub onto 8 number 3 Vibrapods, each with a racket ball resting between the base of the sub and each Vibrapod. My flexible suspended wooden floor was also allowing feedback from the sub to the Rega 25 turntable. The racket ball/Vibrapod suspension cleaned up the sound and eliminated the feedback.
