Has anyone upgraded from an AudioTechnica ART9?

How does one make the upgrade? My expecations for buying a $2-$5k cart are through the roof.

Before the ART9 I used an Ortofon 2M Black.

Looks different compared to the original. This is for example the original and cartridge body.

My phonostage is only 60 db's. 1.2 mv is a wee bit low.
