Transfiguration Proteus: questions and comparisons

Guys,

I am thinking about upgrading my Phoenix S and the natural choice (considering how much I have enjoyed the Phoenix) would be the Proteus.

However... Even though I usually love Transfiguration’s neutrality, there are times when I wanted a warmer, thicker midrange, with more weight or physical presence (mostly with the vocals) and I’ve been really curious about the Lyra Etna SL considering that all reviews have been praising its warm mid-range.

I know there are other options with glorious mid-range (Koetsu comes to mind), but I’m not willing to trade transient speed (and the Transfiguration has plenty of it) for that. Could the Etna be the best of both worlds?

Thank you!

Luiz

Dear Nadric,

Thank you for your reply. I’m missing a phono that provides me with Allaert’s high recommended loading, though... Otherwise, I’m really curious about it and also about VDH’s Colibri. I’ve never heard any of those European carts.

Best,

Luiz
