HELLO!
I don't think the problem is the actual stylus (needle), it sounds like the magnetic cartridge has become faulty in some way (it does happen). My advice is try another cartridge and stylus (borrow if you can). If the audio stays the same then it MAY be the wiring in the arm going through the plinth (deck) and these wires terminate to pins or a small pcb board in the turntable where the phono cables and arm wires are connected. There may be a bad connection inside.
Also, make sure your tonearm counterweight and anti-skate are set up properly as well as this can have an effect on audio.
I hope this helps as I have been into audio since I was a kid!

One of my Gemini PDT 6000 decks sounds muffled, like there is fluff on the needle. Ive tried switching decks and needles so know it's the turntable but don't know how to fix it
um my hp speakers sounds bad it sounds like a muffled voice
i changed the needle and the turntable plays but the sound is very low and muffled
muffled sound when listening
