Dynavector XV-1s vs. Transfiguration Temper w

Heard the XV-1t vs a Transfiguration Orpheus on the same table (different arms though).

The DV was extremely accurate, to the point that if you put on a bad album it sounded truly bad.

The Orpheus was warmer with more bottom end. It was far more musical to my ears and filled in sounding with just as much transparency and detail as the DV.

I own an old Temper myself and have had lower end DV's (20XH and XX1) in my system. Transfiguration and DV both have a somewhat similar house sound, so if you like one you will probably like the other. I just find the new DV's to be somewhat leaner than the old DV's and the Transfiguration to be more musical and enjoyable overall.

YMMV

BTW - there was another poster on this forum who recently replaced a Temper with the Phoenix (since you can no longer get an Orpheus). I believe he was saying that the new Phoenix bested his older Temper in some regards. Perhaps he will chime in here.

I believe I hear what you speak of...some of my recordings, even new ones, sound harsh (most sound great) with my XV-1s (I do not what to confuse this thread with bad recordings). So let's assume the difference with good recordings with both carts and add in the Orpheus. When you say the Orpheus is no longer available, the Orpheus L is? Do you know if the Orpheus Temper w or v are out of production? I would like to have another cartridge to throw in the mix with my XV-1s, any suggestions...good match with my Basis/Aesthetix setup.
Thanks,
Greg

I'd like to know if the Orpheus L is available. TIA
