cartridges to enjoy without worries

I am in the market for a cartridge that will not have issues.I have about $2K to spend and have been looking at Dynavector,Soundsmith and Clearaudio.I will be buying NEW,so recommendations on both cartridge and dealer are appreciated.Looking for a natural presentation w/o hype.System is resolving and has response down to 25Hz-anything "slow" in the bass won't do,nor sibilant.
I enjoyed my previous Allaerts Eco,but have heard the "2" is more "lively".For the money I spent and the time it was enjoyed, I cannot bring myself to make the same investment twice.
Many thanks in advance and a Happy New Year to all.

Clearaudio Maestro: $1000. I just bought it a few weeks ago from Acoustic Sounds and love it. Great sounding cartridge with focus imaging, tight round bass, big soundstaging, no channel imbalance and phenomenal tracker (even cleaner than my more expensive Lyra Helikon, Cardas Heart) in my Morch/Moerch DP-6, SME 3009 Series II Non improved arms.

Check if its compliance fits your arm though.

Happy New Year
