tonearm issue

Lots of great advice here, both on TT set-up  and on Cart parameters.

One small contribution - I suggest getting two or three CLEAN, OLD LPs to use until you have satisfactorily installed the TT and Cart.

They will be fine for your purposes and save you from possible a possible 'damit' moment...

Good luck

Even if you don't think using the blank side of an LP is the best way to SET anti-skate, it can be helpful, in your case, to reveal natural inward skating and IF your anti-skate control is capable to counter that with a smooth amount of too little, seems like enough, too much.

Then, to refine my anti-skate by ear, I use combos of CD and LP versions of well known content.

IOW, to have confidence that the arm's controls are working properly 

Could be as simple not cuing the arm properly.

Did you use the correct tonearm mounting template?
