If your cartridge was brand new, I would say don't worry about it because many cartridges don't track the +16-dB and +18-dB tracks. However, unless you are very sure about the condition of the stylus, I would still recommend having it checked out. If it is excessively worn it can still sound fine while doing permanent damage to the record groove. Sometimes the money you save on a used cartridge is not a savings at all. On the other hand, if you know and trust the person you bought it from and you know it has low hours on the tip, then it's possible there is nothing wrong except a slightly misaligned cantilever. The diamond stylus should last around 1000 playing hours before needing to be replaced. It's your call.

Good luck,
