Not the first time I have read someone saying this. Not disputing your findings but I have to say if the reproduction 'lacks detail' I donlt see how it can be the deck that is at fault.
As far as the cartridge goes I rate the Nagaoka as superior to the Ortofon, although in the grand scheme of things there is not really much in it.
