My turntable sounds like the speed is too slow


I have an Acoustic Signature Primus.  It seems like the speed is too slow and just produces slow muffled vocals.

I changed the drive belt, and it didn’t make a difference.

Can you suggest what may be the problem?

Thanks!

Playing a 45RPM record at 33 1/3?

I bet I'm not the only one with a new and unheard record who forgot to change the speed and thought it sounded strange...

If you don't trust your cellphone app, maybe mark the platter, play a record and use the phone's stopwatch function to time 100 revolutions which you can count. Should take 180 seconds. If it does, time to look downstream starting with the stylus, the cartridge the mounting geometry etc.
