This is curious. A "better" TT provides better information retrieval (i.e. extension, dynamic impact, etc) -- but even your bog-standard Linn should be superior in many ways to yr Wadia -- esp as it's been set-up by experienced people.
So, the problem is downstream. The phono loading is one likely culprit. The phono itself, another. I would check the loading first. Yr cartridge specs 32ohm internal impedance & recommended resistive loading 400-47k Ohm. This wide range is hardly helpful, esp in the absence of inductance or recommended capacitive loading. I checked a Stereophile review of this cartridge -- but they don't give the loading they used either -- or I missed it.
So, either your dealer or you, try changing the resistive loading & report back -- before you purchase anything. You might also check the capacitive loading in yr Mod and mail Benz, and pray for a response. Cheers
