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?

hollytone22,

I had a Linn Axis years ago and really liked it. I wouldn't give up on the table unless you think it has a mechanical issue with speed or the bearing. If it's working correctly, no reason to replace it. I would look at a possible problem with the cartridge. Maybe the cantilever suspension has hardened and lost its compliance.
