Quite an old thread now and Transfiguration are no more. I have a Proteus I bought in 2015 which is getting pretty close to the end, or indeed beyond it beyond if you reckon on a 2000 hour lifetime though I only get the fainted hint of sibilance creeping in, I may even be imagining it.
With a Naim superline the optimum loading turned out to be 100Ω and not 90 or 110. loading seems to some extent to be phonostage dependent.It's been a great cartridge but now for the hunt for a capable rebuilder, maybe after the virus has run it's course though, I have a lead but we don't know who'll be left in the game so I won't be entrusting it to anyone just yet.
