I received a new cartridge today, an Ortophon Red. I installed it IAW all the instructions it came with (almost none). Some records now sound a tad bright and distorted. What is the most likely error on my part, too much stylus preasure or too little or something else?

In addition, I got a new vinyl pressing of Diana Krall's greatest hits on verve. My automatic turntable drops the needle about 20-30 seconds into the first track, not a problem I have with any other of my records. Am I correct in thinking this means the record might be mis-pressed and a smidgen off center??
