When was it manufactured ? The suspensions in particular have a half life, once the material gets hard and loses it elasticity the stylus is not exactly going to be agile and track well, it can't. sometimes an old suspension will loosen up,and new suspensions be they old NOS or current production all need a break in as well, usually best to play your least valuable records for the first few hours.
And wait for 20 hours or more before making any judgements on the cartridges merits, some take 40 or more hours to sound the way they're supposed to, some sound really nasty for the first few hours.And you have to set up each cartridge to approximately the specified VTA VTF etc. values,and not all cartridges are compatible with all tonearms, you can't just swap cartridges Willy Nilly and expect good sound. They may be P mounts but,they still have established operating perimeters
