Yes delivering the details of massed strings in a good recording is a big time hifi performance test, one of the toughest! So much going on harmonically at any particular time with massed strings!
I have a Denon DL103R cart on Linn Basik tonearm on Linn Axis table to Electrocompaniet step up transformer to Audio Research sp16 pre-amp with phono stage. This setup does the job. Took some work and time to get there testing with high quality recordings containing massed strings but worth every minute and dollar to get there.
