Check antiskating. the 'antiskating (usually) uses a spring in the arm assy, or a weight on a pivot, to control the sideways thrust created by the angle of the arm and cart compared to the grooves. The "antiskate' adds a slight sideways push to the stylus. If it is way off in pressure, it can add some odd noises to the sound, and more as the cartridge gets closer to the center of the LP.
LESS is better than TOO MUCH with antiskate..
Also, the cartridge has to be aligned. If it was just as you bought it, the cart may actually not be ligned up right.
So those two things are the main ones.
(Also, is the cart vertical? does it cant to one side? It should be vertical.
If the cart is in the end of the arm square to the sides of the arm part holding the cart, it is probably pretty good. Ifthe cart is not all the way forward, nor all the way back in the headshell, it is probably OK. If it IS all the way forward ,otr back, or not 'square to the headshell. You should get someone to check the cart alignment.
Good Luck!!
