TT and cartridge choice


I recently upgraded my audio system. I have:
- Klipsch ForteIV
- MA352 integrated amp
- Cambridge CX2 streamer
- Panamax power management 

I want to upgrade from my basic turntable running a 2M red and I am quite lost as to what would work best. I don’t love to fiddle too much with things after setup. My budget is $3500. I was thinking moving magnet but I am happy to be educated.

turntable and cartridge suggestions/advice welcome. I was considering the ProJect 6 Perspex SB

I would pick a TT with a Tonearm with removable headshell.

then, a second headshell, this one allows azimuth adjustment

now you can keep your 2m red, and

try another cartridge in the new table, either the  factory supplied/mounted cartridge; or

an upgrade they will mount for you; or

separate cartridge (needs mounting with all alignments and settings).

no matter what table/arm/cartridge:

you need a few inexpensive tools and alignment skills to achieve the best results and avoid problems.

you don't like to fiddle, but can you set one up initially?
