Did you go for the Optimised Line Contact stylus? I have a cartridge with this tip.
This tip is extremely fussy of both SRA and tip azimuth as the bearing radius is large compared to more conventional tips and there isn't much margin for error. I would pay close attention to your arm height setting. You need to align the arm height with respect to the mounting surface of the cartridge (in the headshell) with respect to the record surface. SO even if you have antiskate and azimuth set correct, the difference in record thickness between a 200g heavyweight pressing a thin LP from the 80s will be enough to highlight the SRA mismatch.
