Tranfiguration Orpheus description

Wow! This thread really took off since I was here last.

I'm thinking of finally upgrading from my Temper W to the Orpheus but I deleted the email with the price list I was receiving from someone around here. I remember the Orpheus was selling for around $2700ish? Is my memory correct? Is this a reliable souce? Warranty included? My retailer wants $5k or $2500 with trade-in. BIG difference!

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks.

Thanks for the emails everyone. Very much appreciated!

Speedy,
I am in total agreement with you. I have a "W" and absolutely love it. Lifeless?????? Far from it!! Also, it mates extremely well with my Basis/Vector combo and is very musical to my ears through my Klipschorns.

I think I'll pass on a non-warrantied Orpheus. Just too much money to take the chance IMO. When the time comes, I'll trade in my Temper (reluctantly) and stick with the folks I purchased it from initially. Besides, they'll come to my house and set it up for me. Not that I can't do it myself but I'm a tad lazy and also enjoy spinning records with anyone willing to join me, even if I'm paying for the privilege ;)
