Sunnyboy1956oh, maybe I missed. pls. send again! 
TW Acustic Turntable Mat
The appropriate mat can make a difference - to the good side. Don't forget to fix the mat on the platter as a kind of hard coupling. never leave it loose on the turntable - you will not hear an integrated system but two components. Don't use holy ...

Nakamichi TX 1000 turntable
Frogman, you're right on the quality recordings of Paul Simon. Many other performers don't care about sound like e.g. the Boss, maybe they more often listen to loud music on stage than we...all the best
