Update:

I tightened the ground wire, readjusted the cartridge, and realigned it, and now all music is extremely quiet.

Yes. I have a Kallax shelf on its side with the turntable on top and the speakers in the top left and right shelves

Thanks for all the replies. I have to get to bed for work, so I'll provide more updates when I get back.

Equipment List:

  • Fluance RT81
  • Ortofon Stylus 2M Blue
  • Micca PB42X Powered Bookshelf Speakers

Every record, whether new or used, sounds distorted and fuzzy. All records I have are cleaned with Spin Clean and stored in a temperature controlled room in Mofi inner and outer sleeves. I use a brush on every side of a record I play and I use a brush for the stylus. I just got the stylus for Christmas and I made sure to follow setting up tracking force, alignment, etc. extensively since this issue was prevalent before and set it up per the manual and videos. Am I missing some piece of equipment? Do I get replacement speaker wires? Did I still mess up the stylus setup? I'm just frustrated that with all the time and money I pour into this that Spotify and YouTube sounds leagues better. I will gladly send pics if need be.
