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

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??

Matt....just inquisitive....what do you use for a load on the Windfield. I just got one ...my preamp is a pain to switch resistors, and just wondering what your experience with the Per is Thanks

Matt.... This is so odd. Anytime I ask that question (loading for the Winfield) I get such a wide range of answers. You say, 100, Harry W from VPI says his is loaded at 500, there are reviews on the internet where some audiophile mag says 1000... I guess I have to open up the pre and begin monkeying around with resistors. (yuk) Thanks for getting back to me
