Are you saying it was loud (enough) before you replaced the stylus, and was too quiet after that? If so, then I would suspect stylus or cartridge problems.

Do you still have the old stylus? If so, put it back in and see if it is loud enough then. It's always possible the new stylus is the wrong type or something, and not coupling to the rest of the cartridge properly.

When you replaced the stylus, did you disturb anything else (did you remove the cartridge from the arm, for example)?
