Summary: Try a different brand.

None of my audiophile friends, or salesmen in better stores like Sure
cartridges.  When one customer complained about his $700 koetsu mistracking,
the salesman replied, with obvious sarcasm, "You could have bough a Sure."
I have heard that they are very tough, so keep it if you like to back-cue
records, and produce your own rap music.

Since I don't know anything about you system or price goals, all I can say
is you might try listening to a cartridge before buying it (I was able to
take my last one home on a trial basis), and seeking advice from others about
your needs.  By the way, there is a $15 Grado cartridge (model number keeps
changing), which many people like best of all cartridges under $100!  (I
don't know how much your Sure cost).

Sorry for the bad news, but its better to exchange it for a better brand now
than suffer with bad sound.
