Highest detail cartridges

Which cartridges give the greatest amount of detail? Imaging, soundstage file detail. These are qualities to consider. I know Lyra cartridges are high on that list. What others equal or better Lyras. Is there anything below, say $1500, that is in that same category?  Detail with reasonably flat frequency response.

Many of us are familiar with those EMT cartridges. What is

curious by them is the output. We are used to low output

carts with probable assumption that they need less wire for

their coils. However this cart produces 0,9 mV output which

is like our ’’black swan’’.

This isn’t about detail per se, as I haven’t heard it yet. I have a Nakamichi MC-500, with a .9V output, like Nandric’s black swan. I don’t know yet if that’s sufficient to connect directly to standard input, or if I’ll still need a step-up.

But I’m curious. Does anyone know this cartridge? Even by reputation? It seems to be rare, as I find no info online.
