Not Enjoying My Turntable

I purchased a u-turn orbit plus six months back to get into the experience of vinyl and collecting again. So far I have enjoyed the process of album buying and the tactile experience of vinyl. However, I just am not happy with the sound. Generally I have always enjoyed playing music with the treble turned up. Maybe because of some hearing loss I don't know. Also, I have had some problems with the turntable. The needle skips and to me the sound is muffled.

I am sure I could fix some of these problems with a equalizer and some troubleshooting with the turntable but am I just chasing the dragon here? In short am I doing something wrong.

@elizabeth  You say things sound 'fine' with your method of set up but it can certainly sound BETTER .... I'd like to suggest you look at Peter Lederman's videos at his website  https://www.sound-smith.com/

I recently had a problem with overhang ... I was short of the mark by about 3 cm's .... had to get a new headshell to reach the correct placement ... but when I did ... what a difference~! Everything was tighter, more focused, yet highly resolving, warm and musical. If one spends just a little time and is patient, benefits are reaped.
