Sumiko Blackbird Cartridge

Just getting back into my vinyl collection. Bought a Sumiko Blackbird cartride and had it mounted. Less than 10 hours on it. The cantelever is not perpendicular to the cartridge body. It is about 20 degrees offset to the right. I don't know how it got that way. Cartridge sounds pretty good though.

My question since I am a neophyte- Will this damage my records or do I need to replace this cartridge?

Any advice is appreciated.

Need advice on compact options

I have had a set of GNP 220 loudspeakers (a step below the Valkyries, circa 1984 Pasadena) for 22 years and they still sound good to me. However, I'm married with children now and I need to do something non-floorstanding (bookshelf?). Can anyone recommend a great set of speakers that can be put up on shelves or wall space? My budget is around $1,000, but I can always save up if necessary to get something really good.

I was walking down Fifth Ave. a few days ago, when a woman striding down the sidewalk behind me gave off such antagonistic vibes that I scurried out of her path. As she passed by, I thought <I>There's someone just waiting to explode</I>.
