Cartridge for VPI Classic 3?


Purchasing a VPI Classic 3... want to hear opinions on cartridges. So far my front runner is the Lyra Delos which is also at the top of my budget. Others considered were Benz Micro Glider, Dynvector 20X, VPI Zephyr

My system:

McIntosh C1000T preamp (extremely flexible phonestage)
2 McIntosh MC275's
Dali Helicon 800 MKII
Synergistic Research cables/power cords

Thanks!!!

There are quite a few people that like the Sound Smith VPI Zephyr. It was designed for the VPI unipivot arms.

A sleeper cart that some feel provides very good performance is the AT-33PTG (not available through U.S. importers but available on eBay from Asian dealers). The 33EV is also considered a good performer but many feel its performance falls a little short of its line-contact stylus big brother at around the same cost (though it is available through U.S. dealers).
