Transfiguration Orpheus - Has anyone tried it ?

Larry,though I do love your comments,the fact that your original Temper-v was bought used,and then began to degrade(I had a Temper that was still going strong for 8 yrs,before I upgraded to the "V")kind of dulls down the comparison.I mean this with all due respect,and have NO doubt the newer model(Orpheus) is better,as you hear it!

Transfigurations of the past have all been better in each new generation.My friends have owned about three or four different vintages,and that was the case,so I'm sure the Orpheus is the best of the lot!
In any event,I'm really happy that you are getting such satisfaction from yours,but remember that your "V" was not a fair comparison!

Best!

Although I've tried to make that clear from the beginning, it is worth repeating. To be continued.

I'm going to attempt the endurance record with my V. Till the "tip" do us part.

Larry,I may have some "egg dripping down my face",as of this morning!!To be specific,I was awaiting my wife and daughter,who were shopping.I was in a bookstore,waiting for them when I began to read some of the British audio mags.
Well,it appears that the Orpheus has gotten a big headstart in merry old England!It was NOT formally reviewed,but WAS mentioned quite a bit,in some general discussions,revolving around some superb equipment.
One was a review of the NEW SME 20/12 table(I think that is the designation)which has the new 12 inch SME arm.The Orpheus was also mentioned,in a very favorable light,in other areas of discussion.

It appears that this will get a superb amount of good press.The overall impression I got,was very similar to your "obviously accurate" comments!
So,regardless of the "newness" of your now defunct Temper-v,you seem to be "on the money" with your Orpheus comments!!

Maybe some day,when I finally get my amp back(like in a month,if I'm lucky)I will actually be able to hear some TRANNY music again.It might not be an Orpheus,but GOD do I want to hear my record collection,again!!!

Three months without my little late night private listening sessions,really SUCKS!!

I WANT MY MUSIC AGAIN!!!!

Best!

Glad to hear it, very interesting -- do you recall what Brit pub, and is a link available? I've been too busy to give my cart much more time in the last week. It seems to react rather critically to alignment, and I'm heading toward absolutely level, not tail up or down. Surprisingly (to me anyway), record scratch seems to be a little more noticeable at tail down.

I really sympathize no vinyl. I may have a different problem -- the CD player quality was pretty even with LPs until I got the Orpheus. Now I'm hearing better low-level detail from my LPs, and am having to deal with whether there's something I can or should do about that. That does support the lower-noise impression that I have. Stay tuned; now, I've got travels coming up and won't finish breaking in the cart until late June.

Again, thanks --
