Does the quality of the record make much difference with a poor quality needle and set up?

Define poor quality?

I can tell the difference between a good and a bad mastering or pressing with my modest set up (40 year old Rega Planar 2 with original Ortofon cart/third party stylus, Arcam Alpha 3 amp, Celestion 5 speakers). Probably about £350 all in with today's ebay prices. You don't need to spend thousands to get a set up where the recording is the limiting factor.

As airhead said.

I'm discussing a very worn needle and/or no name worn out needle with a steepletone record player. Or the bush record player that I am selling that took four hours of messing about to get the original needle right so that it played stereo.
