This is an excellent MC cartridge. Highly resolving, fast, very neutral. From Michael Fremer's STEREOPHILE review:
"Proteus's tracing of the grooves produced sounds set against a deep, rich, velvety-black background. Its overall character was as nonmechanical as I've heard from a cartridge of full resolution and full frequency response that held back nothing—and I mean nothing.
"Bright recordings sounded so, dark ones dark. The great ones sounded as great as I've heard them. Any audible character the Proteus may have had was closer to that of the Lyra Atlas or the Haniwa HCTR01-6T than of the Ortofon Anna, which is somewhat richer in the lower midbass and somewhat more polite on top.
"The Proteus's sound was as effective with jazz as with hard rock as with classical as with folk. It upholds Transfiguration's well-deserved reputation for expertise and finesse in the reproduction of voices, while expanding the brand's reach into the deepest, darkest, brightest corners of every other conceivable cartridge performance parameter."
