He could be correct.
Not to be quarrelsome, but I came to the same conclusion from reading your statement about your sonic results.

I won't dispute your words,.........................................................even though this is the internet, but there was a time when some hi fi only records were cut so hot they were unplayable on some equipment. The reviewers were so happy reporting how the cannon shots in the 1812 symphony threw the needle out of the groove, as if that were a good thing. ( through my eyes, the same event would be , Me bummed because the cannon shot on my rare hi $ fi record was just destroyed forever, do to mechanical error. )

you might have one of those old hot rod records that only a reviewer could love. real world record care is one of the reasons I favor a high compliance cart. I would rather ride the records easy than hard. Some guys are more into the mechanical side and would instantly go into upgrade mode if given an "unplayable" record.

I have a handful of super analog out of japan, I dragged some home from an audio show.at about 50 bucks a copy some time ago. All played as expected, thank goodness, but there were no complicated grooves, just jazz, and I am running a modern tip shape on old shure cart, designed for" trackability:", as they called their high compliance design feature.

Moving coils low compliance, race car suspension versus street, so to speak. For some, records are disposable, as designed. Not me, i will shelve some detail rather than mis-track and destroy the groove forever.. Most selling audio stuff favor the machine over the vinyl.

Perhaps you have heard of a thing called the grado dance, to illustrate my point. in brief, good sound, tough design for vinyl contact, from the reports. You might have the same situation, more information than your cart can handle, a skateboard on cobblestone deal.
