Another Pro-Ject Debut Carbon DC with Ortofon 2M Red Question

Hello,

I purchased the Pro-Ject Debut in December 2015 along with ACRYL-IT platter upgrade. I was using this with a newer Yamaha receiver at the time. I have since purchased a vintage Marantz 170DC power amp and 3250B preamp, along with a set of JBL 4311 WXA speakers. I had all the vintage gear serviced and it sounds good, I was hoping some tweaks with the turntable would hopefully get better sound. I was considering the Ortofon 2M Bronze upgrade, the tech who serviced my Marantz suggested getting the Hana EH High cartridge. He said it would sound much quieter than the Ortofon, but also deliver better sound. Does anyone have any thoughts on the two cartridges I'm considering?
Thanks for any advice.

Thank you for the feedback. Sorry this may be a dumb question, I had read about the motor hum/noise with this turntable but I don't hear it.  Could I just be fortunate and not have this noise as bad. I had also seen a YouTube video where you ground the end of the power support adapter by wrapping some wire to it and then the other end goes to the ground. This may not be not doing much but I don't hear any noise turning up the amp with no record playing and listening for a hum. Is that how I would test?

I did spend a lot of money growing up seeing tons of rock concerts so maybe my ears are not so good picking this noise up. :)
