ADC QLM36 MKIII Cartridge Sound Quality Issue

hi*ball

Records & Coffee
Hello.

I have an ADC QLM36-MKIII Cartridge that I just purchased a new stylus for. The stylus is supposed to be new, and is an ADC QLM32-MKIII (which I was told was completely compatible).

The question I have is this: (The cart is off of a turntable I'm working on that had a broken off stylus. The cart was already there, so I purchased the new stylus)...

It sounds poppy where there should be more solid bass. Can anyone tell me if this just sounds like a bad stylus, or the sign of a bad cartridge?


Thanks in advance!

The QLM 32 Mk III tracks at 2 to 4 grams. What tracking force are you using?
 
Thanks wualta!

That fixed the issue. Cartridge now sounds great!

(I was using 1.75 grams - the weight for the cartridge that is currently on another turntable)
