What after a Lyra Delos, if any ?

Hi all
I don't have vast experience with carts and I love my Lyra Delos MC cart. I've read here in A'gon that you have to climb very high in the Lyra chain to better the delos.
I don't even know to define if i'm missing anything but from anyone who had or still own the delos - which other cart did it for you and in which parameters ?
Thanks in advance to all repliers.

When reading again my post it seems as if I think it's the best cart in the world and I know it's probably not...
I love its musicality, bass extension and resolution.
So I wonder where else to look to get more from my analog rig within a budget of no more than $3k new or preowned.

Van Den Hul Colibri XGP Mk. 2 I loved my Delos too but the VDH took my rig to the next level of enjoyment. Better and more refined presentation.

I went from a Delos ($1300 at the time) to my now-current Ortofon Cadenza Black ($2700). The Ortofon is a better sounding cartridge but not 2X more - the Delos is a Best Buy to me

I'd be interested in reading how much better an AT Art-9 is than a Delos.
