I have just purchased a new turntable head shell,cartridge and stylus ( pre assembled) and when putting it in the tone arm and start playing a record, it just slides across the record. how can i prevent this. this douse not happen with any of my other head shells or stylus
The head-shell weight is clearly different and you would need to re-set the arm balance.
this is usually done from the back of the arm where the counter balance sits.
Cartridges have a STATED tracking force usually in grams.
Most arms are roughly calibrated to weight but not always.

Hope this gives you the information you need

It would be very decent of you to consider the quality of our expert’s answers and judge them accordingly as you pass through FixYa.
Thank you
Testimonial: "very helpful, but upon doing it, the audio quality is appealing and still skips. the stylus has broken and will be returning it thanks alot a++"
Sorry to hear all did not go well.
Cartridges can be a little fragile.
I have a couple and a cheap scale for balancing and tracking etc. as I swap mine out to transcripe 78 RPM to CD via a computer.
If you are a bit of an audiophile you may also want to check the tracking arc too there are templates you can download and print at home for most basic uses.
Skipping would indicate the tracking force is still not enough.
The place you get the cartridge should probable have a scale fer a few dollars.
