Doesn't look quite right - do you have the tracking force set correctly?

An SRA of 92° is about optimum but may vary slightly depending on the stylus geometry.

yes you 're right.
eb seller say all this stylus are the same. brand is dreher&kau (seller or manufacture, I don't know)
on listening, no problem, maybe because it is a spheric diamond...
but I really hesitate to send him back
yes all my basic setup are good.

Conical or not you will damage your records if you play it this way
Don’t reason it out based on what kind of tip it is.

The tip of the cantillever, where the stylus is mounted, is bent downwards towards the record surface. That part is supposed to be horizontal.
Send it back.
If seller claims, that all his styli are like that, get your money back an buy from a more reliable source. That could be Thakker, if you don´t mind it being in Germany 🙂

That looks very wrong. Bent cantilever wrong. You VTA is about 45 degrees there.
I'd say someone got it caught in the wrapping and yanked the cantilever, now its a destroyer of vinyl, unlikely to be salvagable.
