this turntable can ruin my records ?
i waste my money ?

if anyone can help me I would appreciate.. thanks and blessings.

Any record can be ruined if it's not treated right. However, if the turntable has a cartridge & needle designed for doing cuts and scratches then you should be fine.

You should be fine. That's a good cartridge.

its actually pretty hard to destroy records by scratching/cueing/sampling. i've seen copies of scratchy seal( a popular scratch record) that have had their labels worn off.

my copy is fairly scruffy but still going strong.

depends on the record material, the part you scratch and how often you scratch it, the needle and the weight adjustment.
I know records used quite often for beatjuggling and some of the kicks do have hiss now.
