Need advice on new TT, arm and cartridge.


I think, I'm done with the rest of my system for now, so I can move onto the analog.
Just briefly, my system is Avantgarde Duo Omega G2 speakers,
Lamm ML2 power amps and VAC Signature IIa full function preamp with built-in MM/MC phono stage.
I have a few requirements for the analog set-up, aside from the sound quality:
I want it to be as "not tweaky", as possible. I don't want to spent my time making 17 adjustments every time I want to listen to a record. "Set and forget" is the way, I'd prefer it.
I'm really open to other suggestions. Thank you.
Budget- wise, I would prefer to stay under $10K for the TT, arm and cart.
The big question for me is the sound signature of the different tables, arms and cartridges. I heard multiple analog setups in unfamiliar systems, but none in my own (aside from the KAB Technics Sl 1200+ Shelter 501 MkII, that I used to own.
I've read so much of a debate b/w various drive types- DD, Idler, Belt, but still, I don't have a clear understanding of their respective signature sound.
So far, I have a few candidates:
Belt Drive; TW Raven One,or maybe AC; Basis 2500/2800
DD; Technics SP 10 MkII in various plinths (Dobbins, Porter, etc.) As a matter of fact I have Technics SP10 MkII table sitting in a box, awaiting it's destiny)
Idler: Garrard (again in one of the above mentioned custom plinths).
Even less clear to me are the differences b/w various arms.
I have a following list:
Reed, SME-V, Graham Phantom B-44 MkII, Basis Vector 3/4; Kuzma 4Point,
I want the arm to be compatible with as wide variety of carts, as possible.
And now is the list of possible cartridges:
Lyra Delos /Kleos, Dynavector XV-1S/T, Koetsu?, Benz?
I listen to all kinds of music, and my general preferences of the reproduced sound is toward little more relaxed and natural, but dynamic, vs. hyper detailed and analytical.

Why I prefer Basis to TW?

Because I don't spend my time making 17 adjustments every time I want to listen to a record.
Hello Maril555,

FYI, I believe that the kind fellow in Dallas that is selling the Porter Plinth/SP-10 Mk ll and SME 312S tonearm has moved to a Micro Seiki/ FR tonearm combo.

I recenty picked up a Graham Phantom Supreme tonearm. As Syntax has mentioned, it is a stellar performer that is really easy to setup and get going, especially with the Graham cartridge alignment accessories that are optimized for the 9" armwand...IMO, you will be well-served with this
tonearm along with the Lyra Delos cartridge, super!

Syntax, follows the Johnny Cash model...he has been everywhere. I believe that the "there are differences model" leads to his recommendation of the Basis turntable for you.

Cheers!
Unoear,
Thank you. Reading some Graham reviews, I was left with an impression, that it sounds somewhat "thinner" and "less full in the midrange", than say SME, or Tri- Planar.
I don't know if the same could be said about Graham Phantom Supreme, but that's the sonic charachteristic, I would rather try to avoid. My system is very revealing of the components used in the chain, and can be easily pushed in any direction.
There is also a Micro Seiki for sale on A-gon, but I know nothing about Seikies to make informed decision.
