magnets also differs - the most sweet one is alnico, the intermediate is samarium cobalt, the strongest one is neodymium.
Although if you will look into the picture core moves in magnetic field made by permanent magnet (or field coil but that one is exotic) and less turns makes output more homogenous but signal/noise factor takes over. Also most of cheap aircores or in other words coreless coils are bass shy...
But IMO if you will look into core of the problem why we do like old designs fastest/easiest answer is the use of neodymium magnet in cartridge designs from big manufacturers like AT, Ortofon, ZYX, Lyra etc.
