Cartridge fresh out of the box

If this question has been popped previously, my apologies!

Anyways, I just installed a N-I-B Benz Micro MC20E2H cartridge (replacing a vdH MM-1) and I noticed that the sound from one channel (right) is significantly softer than the other.

Could this be due to the cartridge which has (obviously) not being broken-in yet?

Also, when I play a mono LP and set my amp to mono, both channels produce the same level of sound.

Thanks for any feedback.

But, when he plays mono, the level is the same. Couldn't one of the grounds on the cartridge be loose?

Actually, he said he put on a mono record and hit the mono button on his amp. I'm thinking the mono button on an amp is just going to combine the channels anyway so any volume difference will be hidden.
