Transfiguration Proteus

Proteus is better than my Phoenix ,better more detail,macro and micro dynamics,better stage depth ,bass weight,.The same holds true when compared to my Lyra Titan I very very musical as well with great speedl.Still have more break in to do about 30 hrs.

I have an old Temper, the original version of it, and I would guess it probably needs a re-tip in the near future. But I am leery of sending it to Soundsmith due to its unique cantilever setup. Don't know what Transfiguration would charge me to do this, or what they might offer on a trade up for a Phoenix.

What would you do?

Phoenix S is a big step up much better sounding.Go for Phoenix you will be very happy.I had Phoenix but not S which is even better.Enjoy!!

Hard to get idea how Transfiguration compares to other top end cartridges after description you have provided.
It is no surprise that top end model will be best within Transfiguration range.
Titan is known from lack of tonality and shrill sound.
Do you have any comparision to top end Dynavector, Koetsu, Air Tight, Atlas or so?

Thats it for me dude!!
