To me, there is nothing like the sound of a full string section heard live. The best place to hear it is from the trombone section. :)But just as a suggestion, how about listening to a group of period instruments where they are playing with gut instead of metal strings? If you really don't like violin in general that probably won't help, but it would be less grating. If you would be interested in that, others could give you some suggestions. One group I've heard of is Orchestre des Champs-Elysees.
