Dynavector XX-2 MkII, riding too low?


I own the cartridge in the subject line. When I lower it onto the record surface the cartridge body is very close to the LP......only a tiny crack of daylight.....maybe a mm or two of clearance.  Is this normal? Is the suspension collapsed?

(Tonearm is level to LP and VTF is 2.0g)

TIA for the help!

I have this cart and there is about an 1/8" clearance on mine. I would think somethings not right.
Is there any way you can inspect the threaded shaft of the headshell to see if it is bent in any way?

The first thing I noticed is that all 3 of the cartridge photos show the rear of the cartridge body lower than the front (uneven spacing to the record).
