This is an inquiry, I don't have a Transfiguration cartridge, simply seeking advice regarding possible future upgrades. It appears that this brand is in a very high esteem by those in the know, and the Axis model is, well, not too expensive.
I heard that Ypsilon phono stage is an absolute top level period. Priced accordingly. I like the recommendation of Allnic, even the entry level should be quite good. I know that Ralph uses Transfiguration and he is serious about vinyl so no surprise here.
I am totally unfamiliar with EAR, TW and Viva gear. I can see that the cartridges work well with quite different excellent brands. The output is quite low .4mv for Axis and Phoenics but not the lowest, they are not heavy either. I guess, they would work in Nottingham arm.
