The cantilever looks straight, but the very end with the diamond tip looks skewed. Could have had a knock, send it back!
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

Even if it sounds OK, if the tip is tilted it will damage records.

IMO their is an error of perhaps 1 or 2 degrees on the cantilever relative to the cartridge body, and a similar one of the diamond into the cantilever. The headshell was not parallel to the mirror, and is very fractionally still off slightly.
Whether or not these errors are significant is another question, I've seen used cartridges with far greater errors after some time, resulting from bias forces.

My other thought is this, do you think your system is good enough to pick any error this cartridge will show?
When straightened it looks pretty much ok

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
