Dear @daveyf : Yes, any cartridge can't track the LP grooves in precise way but not for the loading but because all imperfections that the analog alternative has. Pivoted tonearms does not helps but increment the tracking problems and the LT too.
There are several threads where we discussed all what is happening down there at the stylus tip during playing and it's " terrible " for say the least.
MC are almost immune to impedance loading. Problem is not there, but yes a cartridge always performs with mistracking but if we can detect the mistracking in the cartridge play behavior then something is wrong in the overall set up or the cartridge tracking abilities are poor. Again, loading is out of that mistracking.
Even with all the analog alternative imperfections I know we have a lot of fun with or at least we are accustom to.
Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,
