VPI Shyla cartridge?

Anyone using a VPI Shyla cartridge?

The only info I've read about it is that it's a Audio Technica OEM. I'm guessing its' a cross between an OC9/ART9?
Or maybe its just a rebadged OC9?

If you had that same $2K budget for cart and cable, what would you grab? " displayname- $2k cart/cable will you allow for plenty of choices. Obviously, your particular table/phonostage will be a factor for an appropriate choice. The ART9 should work on many. At $1200, it leaves you with around $800. Cable choice? It's another contentious/polarizing subject. I'd spend around $500 or less. Used could mean something 1/2 of retail.

The ART9 has been my choice for years. Definitely a "can't go wrong" cartridge in the $1K price point.

At US$6500 check out the Rega P10 as a comparison. " It's not a package I would ever consider. I like the Rega P10, but if I had to choose between the 2, I would go with the Prime.
