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.

You need to try a Shure 97. I know, too cheap for great sound, but try it. Worst it becomes a back up cartridge for when the $2K goes down. I have a Clearaudio Victory H, still in use, but I did try the Shure before it, since I had it sitting new for 30 years. Well, it gave the CA a run for its money, great warm sound. Table was vpi, 10.5 arm.

Don't be part of the crowd that defines excellence by price.
