If the Proteus is anything like the Orpheus, then it's not my cup of tea... I can not afford either, but I have heard Orpheus on many occasions. To me it sounds lean, with reduced bass and lower midrange, with peaky upper mids/lower treble. The way Denon sounds in my system, is almost completely opposite to your description. It does have a dry-ish character somewhat,because it is very accurate and coloration-free, but the tonal balance is very warm, darkish, with somewhat recessed highs and strong, full bass. Somewhat similar to Shelter 901. This is the second one I own, the first one sounded exactly the same. This is why I want another one, because I can not tolerate bright cartridges, lacking warmth and bass. I also have Audio Technica OC-9ML Mk II, different sound altogether. If Art is similar to that, I would try it. If Art is similar to Transfiguration or ZYX school of sound, I wouldn't even bother... Price on Amazon is down to $820 from "Galaxy Japan". They sell Art 9 already on Ebay!
