Need suggestions for a MC Cart for my VPI Prime


Just bought a Zesto Andros 1.2 Phono Stage and for my VPI Prime. Any suggestion for an MC Cart for my VPI Prime.

Budget around up to 2k.

My set up consist of the following cronus magnum II, tannoy xt8f speakers. Right now im using a ortofon 2m black.

I listen to all kinds of genre but mostly rock and female vocals.

I've heard lots of cartridges w/ VPI tables, owned Ortofon Quintet Red, Bronze, Cadenza Bronze and Black and an SPU.  Have used the Kiseki Purpleheart on a VPI HR-X.  I think for the 3d arm/prime combo in the 2k range, I would audition the Transfiguration AXIA.
There is a VPI dealer in Oklahoma who handles the Transfig, along with VPI as well as Zesto and he has had that combination in his listening room.  I have heard it and it has a lot of synergy with that phono stage
