Transfiguration Orpheus, what step-up
I think what you meant to say was that your last cartridge - the Phoenix sounded better than the Orpheus?? Be patient. My cartridge needed lots of time to find its place...yours does too. Talk to me in 3 months..but play it every day.

I find that VPI stuff is very easy to install and get running well. The factory is always helpful with a real desire to make their customers happy. I find that they don't shmooze, but in simple E=mails can solve any problem with their products. ..... 
Rega P3-24, RB300 and Grado Gold... VTA
The best mat I found for my Rega 25 was the Boston Mat. It made an appreciable difference. The wool mat sounds "wolley" in comparison...but as you say, you have to raise the arm up a little more.
