Hi and Happy New Year! I own the VPI Classic. Not sure about your budget. But based on my experience, I can endorse Dynavector and the Sound Smith VPI Zephyr. I have read many success stories with the Benz LPS, but it's a $5K carty.
My only caution is that even though VPI will "officially" tell you that the JMW unstabilized uni-pivot can match well with pretty much any carty on the market, that was not my experience. Pull my threads to check my history. My advice is stick with you know works - check the other member's threads. But, I own the DV 20X H and the Zephyr and they do work!
