The "penny trick" (and the screw for that matter) is a really bad idea for the long term care of records. It adds an additional 1.5 grams to an already (overly) heavily weighted tonearm. Adding the penny will literally grind away the audio information out of the record. Your model of turntable is already doing this at an accelerated rate due to it's heavy stock tracking force. Putting the penny on there is damaging the record as you play it.

The solution is to upgrade your turntable. Of course the sky's the limit on models, but if you're on a budget and want a turntable that will be good for the long term care of your records, I would recommend the Crosley C100. Your local shop may carry one, or you can get it at Amazon (amongst other retailers):

It routinely drops in price to the $130-140 range. You can set a camelcamelcamel.com alert to tell you when it does that.

In addition to better long term care of your records, you will notice a substantial upgrade in audio quality, especially considering your speakers.

I finally bought a 15-feet USB cable to string from my turntable to the computer in order to “rip” them onto my hard drive and transfer to my phone.

I previously had this but it’s gone missing .... it’s about 10 times as expensive as the USB solution, but a great alternative if your turntable isn’t USB friendly.

They also have the added benefit of making it much easier to slide records in and out of the shelf.
