You're not alone, Lee.
Having learned back in 1980 of the benefits of Moving Coil, confirmed by further study in recent times, I'm surprised how many hi-fi experts and afficionados seem not to have experienced this advance.
Prior to the Signet, I had a Shure V15(?) MM and an Ortofon MM (different arm and turntable but all high quality) and I still recall the huge improvement in detail and 'musicality' that came with the Moving Coil cartridge. Other factors could have played a bit part, but not the full part.
