The AT3600L is a fine cart and won’t “damage” your records. It’s not the best, but it’s far from being “bad”. It’s the stock cart on Rega P1 & P2.

Vinyl records are a fun way to discover music for me, and this thing will be great for previewing old $2 records (which, I’m sure have never had a bad stylus dropped on them…) at local stores without hogging the preview table.
