Which NYC Dealers REALLY know how to setup a TT?

I live in Manhattan. I want to purchase a new turntable, arm and cartridge.
I'm willing to spend up to $5,000, maybe $6,000 tops for everything.
From long nights of reading MANY post online here and elsewhere I feel that even more important than a particular brand etc., the dealer must really know how to setup a turntable properly. I'am all thumbs when it comes to this stuff and have accidentally trashed my share of cartridges over the years!
Therefore it is very important to me that a dealer really knows how to setup a turntable, arm and cartridge properly so I can get the most out of what I pay for.
Can people who have actual experience with NYC dealers please steer me in the right direction? Thank you.

The most successful NY dealers are the same as the most successful anything in NY:

their first and foremost area of expertise is MAKING MONEY.

I would, therefore, think you are much better off buying whatever you want, and finding an audiophile to help you, or contacting the manufacturer.

What kind of a turntable do you have in mind?

I havent adjusted VTA in years, but never dropped a cartridge in my life and would be happy to help.
