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

Roy,as a Temper-V owner,I was curious to get info on this,as well.I know a fellow "poster",named Karl Heinz claims to own one.
I have asked him,on his "audio system" threads,to please give a description,if possible,yet he has not responded.
I also asked the dealer,who sold me the (wonderful,btw)Temper-V for some kind of info,but even he could not come up with anything.Frustrating,but what else is new,in the world of "high end audio"?

My reason for interest is obvious,yet my current Temper-V has few hours on it,and is really a "killer" cartridge in my Graham 2.2("sorry Dougy" -:).
However, past opgrades in the Transfiguration line,from my dealer,has only cost me the re-tip costs,for a completely new cartridge.Hence,my interest!!
I also have a good friend,owning a Temper-V(2.2 ,and "Toto too"),who would move with me,if I could get some darn info,on this supposedly new cartridge!

What gives,anyone??????

Best!
Hi Roy. The Transfiguration V is an outstanding cartridge. I know someone who loves (an understatment) his Transfiguration V. He has spent some time with the new top-of-the line Transfiguration and his comment was, "it is the most amazing cartridge I have ever heard...a HUGE improvement over the Temper, which was among the very best already...killer."

Sorry I have no 1st hand experience with the new cartridge, though this friend has superb ears and I value his judgement.
Hi Sirspeedy,
well the Orpheus finally has his 70 hours playtime.
As I can judge compared to a Temper V which my friend
own's, is that the sound comes near to the ZYX Universe
but is better than the Temper V. Comparison
were made on the Kuzma Airline.Both set up on the Airline
and phono stage Klyne 7pxx
If you can get a Orpheus go for it.
Regards Karl-Heinz
Karl-Heinz wrote me, that the Orpheus is really good sounding and that one of his audiophile friends bought it after owning a Temper V.
He is very satisfied with that replacement.
Hope that helped a bit.
