What Step-up transformers are best value?

I have recently bought a VDH Black Beauty cartridge. It needs top-flight SUTs. I'm currently using Silks, which are very good. I have also tried the S&B TX103s (lent by a good friend), and they are noticeably better. Their price, however, is prohibitive (£1400). Anyone know of any serious bargains out there, which are up there with the Tx103s?

... to be honest the VDH carts just sounds better with a Head Amp. even my VDH manual says they don't recommend a SUT.

Same with ZYX cartridges, people should try ZYX CPP-1 PRE-PREAMP (HEADAMP) designed by Nakatsuka-San for low output MCs.

Nuff said. He's one of the best winders on this planet.
And yes, I use a lot of his stuff in my projects.
