PS-LX310BT - sounding muddy

Davethebass — Mon, 13 May 2024 16:31:54 GMT

Hi … hoping someone can help.

I have had a PS-LX310BT turntable for a couple of years but I have always suffered with a muddy sound. I have tried all sorts of remedies but have finally given up on the usual fixes. I have switched from phono to line (on the amp as well) changed speakers, changed amps, rewired the speakers, tried bi-wired and standard.
Other aux equipment sounds fine (mp3 player, cd player etc) but the turntable is noticeably muddy.

Does anyone have any suggestions before I give up altogether?

many thanks in advance.

Hey @Davethebass, have you tried to clean the stylus also, did you try to change it before?

Thanks for responding. I have cleaned the stylus, but not changed it. I had the turntable from new and the sound has always been that way. It also has not had the use it deserves, for the same reason …. ie I don’t get the enjoyment because of the sound, so I don't often use it.

I believe in this case, you might need to change the stylus
