Turntable advice

Hey there, I was wondering if anyone has any advice on a turntable and cart. I was looking at the rega p6 but the lack of vta and azimuth adjustment turned me off, I mainly listen to hip hop/ soul/ funk/ jazz and blues for the cart reference. Im looking to spend around 2-3500 with the cart price included if possible but could stretch a bit if need be. Mainly my concerns are ease of cartridge adjustment and alignment  or a clear path for adjustment if something has a known quirk. I still haven’t decided on a phono or amp either if anyone has any advice there. Budget for those is around 1500 give or take for both. 
 

i appreciate any advice in advance !

I just set up my MoFi UltraDeck with Hana ML cartridge (upgraded from Hana EL). Like what I’m hearing so far! This combo fits your budget.
Other choices…Marantz with the included Clearaudio cartridge is a great combo. As well as Clearaudio Concept table that leaves you enough for a good cartridge to complement it.

Lots of choices for a phono amp in the $1500 budget as well. Tube or solid state. Fee examples…Sutherland is a very good choice in solid state with plenty of loading and gain settings. EAT E-Glo Petite has good rep in tubed units in that price range.
