Hi! I’m very new to the vinyl scene and trying to enjoy some records I recently purchased - my audio technica arrived today, and I’ve been trying to get it to work. I don’t have any other speaker but an amazon Alexa at this point (since I splurged on a good record player) but now when it plays it emits a high pitched noise from the vinyl itself - see the video.

I suspect it might be to do with the needle itself but any lighter and the audio quality drops. I can’t think that this is right!

Please help! It’s driving me mad!
