It is likely that you are already familiar with this outstanding phono preamp with external battery power supply if you are looking at this ad. For further details, see the Sterephile review that is linked above. The Basis Exclusive is ideal for those who want great sound, of course, but also want 2 separate inputs to connect 2 tonearms, fully balanced connections (input and output), and want to remove the mains power from the inherently low level signal of the cartridge. It also provides the option of operating with electrical current instead of the battery power. The only reason I'm selling it is because I just bought the 2016 version of this same phone pre.
I have owned this Basis Exclusive since July 2016, when I put brand new batteries in the power supply. I estimate that they have about 250-300 hours on them and they are still going strong. My home is pet-free, smoke-free, and child-free. I have perfect rating on Audiogon (asindc), on Ebay (asindc), and on Audio Asylum Trader (asindc). I prefer local pickup in Washington, DC area, though I will ship anywhere in North America in the original boxes. I will accept payment via Paypal, personal check (ships after check clears), and U.S. Postal Service money order. Buyer pays shipping and transaction fees. $3,200.
I apologize for the sideways orientation of the photos. I don't know how to fix that.
