| Transfiguration Orpheus - Has anyone tried it ? I really think it is. I'm being conservative for a few days, but it does seem like a major step forward. I adjusted the VTA to remove an almost imperceptible armtube downslope, think it lost a little, and will take it back to where it was.Larry | |
| Transfiguration Orpheus - Has anyone tried it ? OK, as far as I can eyeball it, the stylus-to-top distance is exactly the same, or not enough difference that I can tell it. Sorry 'bout that.Larry | |
| Transfiguration Orpheus - Has anyone tried it ? Oops, I need to look at the VTA. The Orpheus stylus looks like it projects downward a little farther which might make it higher, so I need to go back and make sure the armtube and cart are as horizontal as I can get them.I didn't pursue it after e... | |
| Transfiguration Orpheus - Has anyone tried it ? Nsgarch, the Orpheus is also slightly heavier than the V (9 vs. 7.5 gm.), and I can feel a slightly higher moment of inertia. So far, LP handling/playing and a very low level of record scratch don't seem to suggest adversity from either the compli... | |
| Transfiguration Orpheus - Has anyone tried it ? Sir(!) -- I installed it late this AM, listened to only 2 LPs before turning to other things I have to do now. So far, I really, really like this cart right out of the box. It has only small break-in issues to get past! I want to get a little time... | |
| Transfiguration Orpheus - Has anyone tried it ? And shake me down for the wine I might owe you too, I suppose! I do want to take about a week, two at the most.Larry | |
| Transfiguration Orpheus - Has anyone tried it ? I'll be very happy to, especially after I think it's broken in enough. I'll get it tomorrow and will install it over the weekend. It is more expensive. Stay tuned.Larry | |
| Transfiguration Orpheus - Has anyone tried it ? Sirspeedy,It looks like a lot of people owe you a nice bottle of wine, and I'd be glad to do my bit. I looked at gcaudio's site earlier, saw Transfiguration but no pricing details. However, I already have an Orpheus on order, though it sounds like... | |
| Transfiguration Orpheus - Has anyone tried it ? I meant "bulletin board" should have called it the forum. I was hoping to find a ballpark price, since I just recently heard $1,500 to "retip" a V, and that seemed really high even by MC cart standards. Thank you -- Larry | |
| Transfiguration Orpheus - Has anyone tried it ? Sirspeedy, what is the retip price of a V? Thanks! Great BB, by the way! | |
| Transfiguration Orpheus - Has anyone tried it ? Transfiguration is distributed in the US by Profundo, at http://www.profundo.us/ The Orpheus is not yet up on this website (neither is the "Aria"). I've been told it's more like $5k (full retail), but would be very interested to know if it's less. | |
| Right Angle Power Cord's ESP makes a 90-degree IEC connector that "fits Mark Levinson components with the IEC jack under the unit." Sounds like what you want, might be $550 or so.ESP = Essential Sound Products, P.O. Box 81998, Rochester, MN 48308-1998, (2488) 375-2655. Mo... |
