Channel frequency range not balanced


One channel coming from the turntable is `brighter` in sound than the other. The `highs` are clearer. I am using SME IV with standard phono cable, and vd Hul retipped Koetsu black. 
After many trials I have concluded that the problem lies somewhere between the RCA plugs and the stylus itself.
All sensible suggestions most appreciated!

Hi,
i believe that you did not have the same problem with your previous cartridge and retiping was performed accurately.
Do one step at a time, most probably cartridge is out of alignment on lateral axis, another cause would be different tube (not same construction) in phono preamp (if you are using a tubed unit).
Azimuth would be the last thing to check and only after everything else is properly set up.
