I decided to upgrade my turntable to a Technics SL1200 MK2. Then I
found out that I needed to upgrade my receiver too (Onkyo 8522). Oh,
and I bought some new Polk bookshelf speakers.

So you can imagine how close I am to shooting myself now that the
turntable just sounds distorted, like I'm playing on muddy records
(brand new copy of In Rainbows sounds bad).

The stylus is a Numark CX-1 (Tony Touch) and is new as well.

Is this a stylus problem, a wiring problem (CD player sounds fine) a
anti-skate problem (fuzz seems to come out of the right side more than
the left), tracking problem or a counterweight problem?

If anyone can offer some advice I'll be eternally grateful. If not I'm
going to start throwing a couple hundred of my records into a brick
wall.

All the best.
