Dynavector XV-1s vs. Transfiguration Temper w


Anyone listened to these cartridges in their system. Could you discribe any differences. I have a Basis 2200 Signature w/ a Vector 4 arm and XV-1s cart. Phono pre is a Aesthetix Rhea Signature. Thanks, Greg

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
Syntax- I had the Lyra Delos in my system before the XV-1s and compared them for a couple weeks. The Delos was very detailed but thin sounding compared to the vx-1s. Overall not nearly as strong in the bass or natural sounding in the mid-range(vocals)and simply not as musical in my system. As I said before I would like to try another cart., but my first try w/ Lyra was not good for my ears. Thank you for you impressions of the Temper w.
