I am a VPI dealer and had good luck with AT 33 EVs and Denon 304s. Dynavector is recommended by VPI. J&R has had the 33EV for as low as $400; a good buy to me. My friend is currently running one in his Graham Phantom to give his Koetsu Vermillion a break and while not regarding the 33 as its equal is pleased with its sound.
