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

There isn’t a Transfiguration web site, the cartridge is manufactured by Immutable Music Inc in Japan.
Interestingly the Nightingale cartridge by Graham is also manufactured by the same company and the design is very similar, I wonder if the Orpheus inspired the Nightingale or perhaps it was the other way round.
Price perhaps $4400.

The only differences in specs between the Temper-V and the Orpheus(I know it means little,but interesting anyway)is a very small difference in internal impedence,and a slightly higher output and new body style,in the Orpheus.I hope the slightly higher output did not tip comparisons in favor of the Orpheus.I'm fairly certain this was NOT the case,in the comments from those hearing both designs,but believe me I've seen stuff like this before.

Best!
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.
Larry,what is BB?
I guess the re-tip cost is set by the particular dealer,you use.Shop around for the best pricing.

Best!
