    Let's explore a bit deeper please, what interconnects are you using, are they the same? Try swapping them over and see if it makes a difference.

    My turntable was sounding poor recently and although the cartridge had been set up a while ago, somehow things moved.
    Cartridge VTA and downforce.

    Edit: just tried with 0.5m of Chord Carnivals; slightly better.

    Thanks

    I thought Chord Carnival was a speaker cable, I could be wrong tho. Were these on your digital side ie did you swap?
