Trouble with crosstalk when setting up azimuth

I'm having trouble with minimizing crosstalk in the right channel of my Transfiguration Temper Supreme cartridge when setting up azimuth using the Analogue Productions "The Ultimate Analogue test LP". Using an oscilloscope (and the tape outputs on my Spectral DMA-20 pre-amp) I can keep the left channel below about 5 mV peak-to-peak, but the lowest I can get on the right is 10-20 mV.
Is there something wrong with the cartridge? Why so much more cross talk in left to right than right to left? Oh, and I'm using 0 anti-skate.

Just a thought... if you are using the scope as XY I would suggest not doing that. Rather use it as a 2-channel mode, display at least 2 full sinewaves, and separate the traces by 1/4" or so. Trigger on only one channel!!!!!
If you are using the scope as XY then you can be one or more full wavelengths off and it's hard to see.
By using it dual channel you can see the phase AND amplitude much more easily.
