Others will hate me for telling you that the Shure 97 makes a great match. Very inexpensive. I have it installed in a Denon 47F, and it sounds great, almost the equal of the Aries/Clearaudio rig that sits next to it. I've played both units into the same chain. Yes, Aries is better, but not $4,000 better. Scary.
