Transfiguration Orpheus - Has anyone tried it ?


I was considering buying a Transfiguration Temper W but I am now aware that a new cartridge called the Orpheus is available costing more than the Temper.
Not much info seems to be available about it other than basic specs, can anyone comment on differences between it and the Temper.

Many thanks

Kha,

Can you give us more detailed and up to date thoughts on how the Orpheus compares to the Zyx Universe.

Thanks,

Tubes108,

What particular cartidge came along your way that bettered the Tmper V?

Gary,

Thanks for your additonal comments. This helps to put things in better perspective, perhaps.

All,

I'm particulary interested in knowing how the Temper or Orpheus compares to Zyx's ...the Airy 3 or Universe.

Larry,

Reb1208 speculated that the Orpheous offers a different sound. That sound would probably go in the direction of more speed and less warmth/bloom than the Temper V/W.

Have you found this to be true with the Orpheus?

gdpowers_7@hotmail.com,

What was your impression of the warmth/bloom differences between your Temper W and Larry's Orpheus?

Andrew
Tubes108,

Thanks for your feedback. I've heard that the upper end benz's sound pretty good.

All,

The Orpheus was also reviewed in a German mag called Image HiFi. Bob Clark of Profundo, the US Distributor, plans to translate the review and make it available.
