First make sure it's the turntable. Hook up another source through any of the line in, CD, Tuner, etc. How does that sound?
Verify that your tape monitor is in the out position. Defeat all tone controls. How does it sound?
When you are sure you get good quality sound from a high level input then you can turn your attention to the turntable.

Start at the preamp and work your way to the cartridge. Have you selected the correct cartridge type & loading? Is the turntable grounded to the preamp? are your RCA connections clean? At each step...how does it sound? Cartridge alignment, tracking force, yadda, yadda, yadda...

There's no substitute for lineal diagnostics.

Good Luck
