Which cartridge do you use with the vpi classic?


I just recieved the classic and it totally improved the sound of my analog setup. This is one of the best buys in audio, it only took me half an hour to setup, maybe an hour total from opening the box to playing, this is great for those who just want to listen to great vinyl without the fuss.
I am using a denon 103r with incredible results, the phono stage is a JLTI, an audio experience preamp and sim w-5 amp with merlin speakers, one would think this is a million dollar system.
I highly recommend the classic.
Now would like to improve in the cartridge department.

Bifwynne et al - I own the Classic 1 and using a Benz Micro Glider that I took off my old SOTA Sapphire. If I had no cartridge, what would you recommend for someone on a limited budget (retired on a pension with a wife who collects jewelry like I collect lps and cds). Would it be that much of an improvement over the Glider?
I think an excellent choice is the Soundsmith Zephyr. Retail is $1000, but you pick up a used Zephyr for $7-800.
I have heard an Audio Technica OC9/II and it is VERY good. Might not be quite as refines as the super mega-buck carts, but it's close.
Interesting to read how folks on this forum have multiple cartridges. I don't have the finances to experiment with cartridges and I'm hesistant to sell my Glider and buy a more expensive cartridge without some assurance that it will be a nice improvement; so I'm going to have to be satisfied with my Glider till until such time as it needs to be replaced.
