Why is my turntable sounding so muddy?

I set up my equipment recently after a long layoff. I was away for a few years and had the equipment stored away. The equipment is a Linn Axis with Counterpoint amp and preamp (tube). I mean the cd player sounds great
but my analog is hurting any advice?

TT is mounted on a Target stand tracking is correct I thought about the tubes but the CD player is working fine maybe the phono tube? I tried two cartridges one did sound a little better then the other. I am an analog 
person and never could I ever say that the digital sounded better in my system. Thanks for the reply I am thinking about a new table anyway.

Thanks for all the positive feedback. I tried a few things that you guys mentioned and the one thing I did was put the original cartridge back on.
It sounds better but still not quite what I think is correct? My next move is new tubes I will give that a try. Czarivey your thought is the one 
I thought about and that is why I went back to the original cartridge. I don't have the manual on my Counterpoint SA3 and looked on line for where the setting are but no luck yet. Again thanks for you help.
