SpiralOut Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I have an Audio Technica LP60 (I know I know. It was a gift). I got it yesterday. I went out and bought some records brand new and set everything up but the sound is terrible. It's muffled and scratchy. Again, the record player and records are brand new. I have tried multiple records with multiple different speakers (using line and phono settings correctly) and still no results. The only thing I can think of now is that the stylus is bad but I literally just took it out of the box. It looks ok to me but this is my first record player so my experience is next to none. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slinch Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 It's a LP60. It sounds how it's supposed to sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-Bon Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 (edited) is there any sort of counter weight adjustment?? i have noticed on adjustable arms that if its too heavy or too light it can become muffled ...

Tardcore Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Try toggling the onboard phono preamp on/off. Otherwise, yeah...LP60 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allenh Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Take it back for a refund and unless there's a big ball of fluff on the stylus the most likely causes are going to be a shite cartridge/stylus or the on board electronics. Both of which require replacement parts and or repair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
