Hi, I bought a technice SL-100C, connected it up to my preamp/amp and Tannoy speakers and Prodigy Firestarter. All was fine until Keith's vocals kicked in which were muffled. I checked the turntable leveling. wiring, grounding, everything was fine. So I flipped out the cartridge (VM95C I think) for my old WM95E from my Audio Technica 120. Sounds perfect. I don't want to go through the return process at amazon if there's something simple I'm missing here and it's not a faulty WM95C. The 95C is noticably lighter than the E and the arm is pretty rocky with it installed, while the E holds very steady.
Anyone know what I might be doing wrong and is the E better than the C anyway?
Separately, any good suggestions for a good <200$ cartridge?
