cartridge install issue

Hi all,
Quick question. Installed a new cart last night and although the sound is fine it is out of balance by about 2 feet. No amount of adjustment made any difference. When I put the old cartridge back on the sound was centered again.
my question is could it be the cartridge or probably installer error. Have set up many carts without a problem.
I did buy the cart used supposedly with low hour. I believe the seller. So its probably me.

your opinions will greatly appreciated

I'm not sure if it will apply in your case, but phono cartridges break in a lot. They sound terrible new. You need to put at least 50 to 100 hours on them before you make any judgements.

Make sure that when you install the new cartridge, none of the pins are touching each other.
