Are you running it into a phono stage or the phono input on your amp? The output from a turntable is a fraction of the output from a CD player so hooking it up to a regular aux input will result in a very low signal.
Have you checked your earth wire is hooked up correctly? This is often a cause of hum.
A new stylus is probably no bad thing - a worn needle won't do much for your records.
I'd try and understand what's wrong with your set up before buying another deck.
Good luck!
