SoundSmith VPI Zephyr vs. AT-OC9

Has anyone owned or heard both of these. Thought on how they compare to each other?

He'll give you good advice. I use the Zephyr on my Classic. As I have mentioned many times before in other threads, IME, it's very compatible and sounds very good. I'm sure there are other carties costing tons more that sound better, e.g., Benz LPS ($5K), but for a grand, it's very good. No comment on the AT-OC9 -- never tried it.
