Sudden problem with turntable

I have a rega p5 with a ortofon black. it used to sound great. yesterday i put on a record and it sounded terrible, really muddy. My knowledge of turntables is very limited. Is it possible that i damaged the stylus? Any suggestions as to how i would determine what happened?

Do you have other sources? Sound okay? If not, could there be blown tweeters?

You might also consider cleaning your records with a SpinClean -$60 on Amazon. Pick up a gallon of distilled water. It is an excellent product and simple to use.

Buy a box of Mr. Muscle Magic Eraser. (seriously). Lower the stylus onto the block. Raise it. Lower it, raise it. All set.
Do not drag it over stylus. Ever.
