I've never had the issues you mention even on my first TT - music hall MMF7 with Goldring cartridge.
Just wondering why you think digital in general has the upper hand with symphonic music because your particular MM cartridge struggles with complex passages? That would be the equivalent of me saying that my MP3s sounds edgy and lacks detail, so digital is harsh and doesn't do detail well.
I would seriously look at the set up too. You might need to get some more weight on the stylus. You definately want to shoot for MC cartridges eventually. They are the real deal as MM are limited IMHO

But when it comes to orchestral music, my MM cartridge just doesn't have the speed to separate thick, complicated passages. I do enjoy it with a lot of classic rock pressings and jazz, however. But for orchestral music, digital has the upper hand for sure. |
