It is great to hear all the positive reviews. I should be getting my Basis 2200 signature with the calibration base and Vector 4 tonearm on Saturday. I am really looking forward to this weekend.
I didn't see it mentioned in your purchase post but if you haven't already, try the Basis reflex clamp on your 2200. You may find you like the sound even better with it. Your dealer may have one on hand and make sure he has the O-ring for the spindle when you use/try it.
I finally got my Basis 2200 with the calibration base and Vector 4 tonearm. It took me about 45 minutes to set it up at home after Audio Connections had it completely set up at the store. This is the quietest TT I have ever heard. The background is dead silent. The detail is pristine and the bass is deep and tight. Needless to say, I am thrilled.

Congrats on the new baby. It's amazing how much of a difference a great front-end can make eg. we tend to blame the rest of the system for the faults of the front-end! Bet those Vandys have never sounded so good!
Congratulations. Once it is properly set up, vinyl is really something special. You just referred to one of the most critical aspects - the dead silent background, the absence of vinyl tracking noises.
Since you have the Vandersteen 5A's, do you know what is the difference between the 5A and the 5A Carbon?

I have had the joy of listening to the Basis 2200 for a month now and it is everything I had hoped it would be. The background is so quiet it is crazy. Everything sounds so good.
I have noticed that there is a good amount of static electricity when I take the record off the platter. I can't say for sure that is more than with my Scoutmaster, but it seems that way. I do use a zerostat.
Are there any things others do to minimize the static?
I always do that. I am referring more to what I hear when I lift the record off the platter. I can hear the static attraction...at least that's what I think it is.

At least not that I can remember
