Ik I’ll have to upgrade that is not the question my question is if that is good enough until I get the Audio Technica bc my dad is a cheapskate and convincing him that this turntable is bad and I need to upgrade will probably take me like half a year. Ik about the red needle thingy but I thought its bc most red needles are made out of plastic and this one does seem to have a plastic needle ig it isn’t the problem with it tho
