Battra Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 On Thanksgiving my daughter mahoobered up my turntable. She squished the stylus onto the deck of the player. Really love the thing and I want to get it working again. When I try to use it now, it sounds like the record is kind of underwater. What could make it sound like this and how do I fix it? Thank you!

zdkaiser Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 You need a new stylus (if replaceable). Otherwise you'll need a new cartridge.. My 2 year old did the same thing to my table. $300 later it's playing just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battra Posted November 29, 2018 Author Share Posted November 29, 2018 Thank you. That's what I thought. I ordered one off of ebay just now. $12. Crossing fingers. Will put the back up on the slab for the time being. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's given a nice pick me up to the pre smashed stylus sound. I'm probably going to pick up another one to keep on hand as a back up.
