Which MC for my setup?


My current vinyl rig consists of a VPI classic fitted with a Orotfon 2M Black and a Whest P30R phono pre. I am looking to try out a MC cart in the $1000 price range or less. While I like the 2M, it seems a little bright at times on classic rock albums. I mainly listen to classic rock and blues.

Thanks for the replies so far. Here is the rest of my analogue setup:
The Whest runs balanced out to Cary SLP 03 tube pre, balanced to Spectron Musician III Se amp with B&W 802D speakers.
AT 33 EV. I use one and two of my friends bought them after hearing mine. One of them while he was waiting for the Koetsu Vermillion I ordered for him was getting here from Japan. We were recently comparing his Tron 7 phono stage with my Basis Exclusive on my system and the 33 was good enough to reveal the differences between them. It doesn't get any respect as you can get them from J&R for $400, too cheap for a lot of audiophiles. Also Denon 304, another great cartridge at a bargain price. The Dynavector is very good also; I mention them last as I sell them and didn't want to show favoritism. LOL
