Which cartrige would you go with?

I recently sent my BAT vkp-5 back to the factory for BAT`s six pack upgrade, BAT say`s it will sound like a vkp-10 without the step up transformer. Anyway while waiting for it to come back I`ve been thinking of a new cartridge here`s my list of contenders ZYX 1000/ Lyra Helikon/ Shelter 901.This is my current rig VPI TNT JR/ SME 309/ BENZ Ruby H/ ZU cable xaus din to xlr/ vkp-5 with six pack upgrades. So which one would you put on it,any sugestions. David

You probably can't go wrong with any of those 3 choices. I also have a BAT VK-P5 w/ $1200 worth of mods from Great Northern Sound. I'd be interested in hearing your impressions on the six pack upgrade. I'm currently using a Helikon on my VPI HW-19 mk IV w/ SAMA table and JMW 10.5 arm. I also have the SDS. I'm very pleased with the sound of the Helikon, very detailed, yet non-fatiguing. I have heard the other cartridges, and they did sound very good also, but I haven't heard them in my system. Like I said before, I don't think you can make a bad choice out of these 3 cartridges.

John
