A little set up help,please

Starting to get a little frustrated,
Installed a different cartridge last night and the balance is off about 2 feet to the left. No matter what adjustment I made nothing changed.

I put my old cart back on and the sound was back in the center. I have set up my share of carts and never ran into this problem

Any ideas

It is a used cart I bought here, but I believe its something I'm doing wrong. Other than being off balance it sounds great

I am using the Graham supreme II and the coralstone.
I have adjusted everything possible with no change.

When I put my winfeld back on everything centers up just fine

Defective or mis-wired cartridge(wouldn't be the first time). Swap the leads(L/R) and see if the image changes sides. Then try reversing polarity, on one channel of the cartridge.

Just a thought, are you using the same arm wand for both cartridges? If you are using different arm wands, then one of them may be having wiring / contact problems.

Have you checked the setup with a Fogometer?? I know it may be an anathema to suggest this, but perhaps the stylus wasn't put on square??
