I'm sorry, but I don't understand the responses to your question johnm21.
The Orpheus is no longer in production. It has been replaced by the Proteus. It has an output of .2 MV. I don't know what the maximum gain is for your Luxman but I would not buy the Proteus unless you have at least 60 db of gain available.
If you have not replaced the feet on your VPI with Stillpoints, I would recommend doing so before buying another cartridge. If you do not have your Vpi sitting on Stillpoints with a good platform such as an HRS, Symposium, SRA, or Ginko sitting beneath everything I suggest you do that before buying a new cartridge. Those changes will yield huge improvements to your analog playback.
