New Cart Sounds Worst!

Vinyl Asylum

Welcome Licorice Pizza (LP) lovers! Setup guides and Vinyl FAQ.

I have a new Empire P66E, set up on a Technics TT in the living room which i dont listen to very much, so i decided to swap it with the Grado MT+(pretty old eh?) on the linear tracking Realistic LAB 1500 i'm using. Since they're both P mount i figured it would be a no brainer, swap em & the new cart should sound better, right!? The new cart produced a lot of sibilance & noise's (static). I swithed them back & the problem was gone. So i'm wondering if anyone has any idea why the new cart sounded worse. I cleaned the record, & the new cart has only a few hours on it (maybe less). It's also sapost to be a top of the line cart (the Empire) with a tag that says $140 (did'nt pay that). Any explanation would be apreciated. Tom
