The Story

The Basis Audio 1400 turntable is a high-fidelity turntable from the 1990s featuring a clear acrylic plinth, a precision acrylic platter, and a belt-driven motor assembly for vibration isolation. Its key specifications include a 430mm x 302mm main footprint, a separate motor with a 75mm x 75mm x 100mm housing, and an overall weight of about 21 pounds (9.5 kg). It was available in a clear acrylic, silver trim finish. 

Core specifications
  • Plinth: Clear acrylic
  • Platter: Machined from a solid block of stress-relieved acrylic
  • Motor: Belt-driven, isolated from the main turntable assembly to minimize vibration
  • Dimensions: 430mm x 302mm (main body), 16.7" x 15" (overall, including motor)
  • Weight: 21 pounds (9.5 kg)
  • Finish: Clear acrylic with silver trim 

Additional details
  • Construction: The platter uses a precision bearing and concentric cylindrical surfaces for exceptional radial accuracy and speed stability.
  • Modularity: The 1400 was known for its fixed design and lack of upgrade potential compared to the higher-end 2000 model.
  • Origin: Manufactured in the United States.
  • Included accessories (typical): The unit often came with a platter, bearing, spindle, feet, motor, belt, record clamp, and a tonearm (like the Clearaudio Unify Carbon).
