So Simple It Works!!!

-Guaranteed to improve the sonic performance of most turntables. -Made of a synthetic cork blend designed for military use. -Works with or without a clamp or weight, effectively coupling the record to the platter. -Does not trap dust and provides superior protection from the hard surface of the platter. -Measuring at 298mm by only 1/32 of an inch thick, it can be stacked for quick VTA adjustment. On a 9” tonearm 1/32 of an inch equals 1/5 of one degree. 100% made in America. -Custom sizes available, call for details

Brian at Needle Doctor reviews the Simple Mat

I love this mat! The sonic virtues are apparent immediately - bass tightens up, vocals come forward, and more air is put around the instruments. Apart from the musical improvements, there are a multitude of other benefits. Firstly, it's far less prone to stick to the vinyl than stock felt mats. Second, and this must come from the rubber/cork hybrid construction, I find that it grips the vinyl much more easily than other mats. This results in speed stability that's easy to hear. I can't recommend it enough!

Includes original equipment cart (specifically made to "nest" with this unit), speakers, and spindle adapter. 16, 33, 45, and 78 speeds. Speakers store in the back when not in use. Has headphone jack and auxiliary input, but I have not tested these. Solid state, all transistor, no tubes.

Vintage Sylvania Exponent 4/40 Portable Record Player Phonograph Garrard works. I plugged this unit in, hooked up the speakers, put an record on and it played. This unit has not been used in years. It's what you would call portable in its days. The thing ways nearly 50 pounds. The sound quality is very good. The volume works, but it tends to lower its volume wen turned up. But if you wiggle the knob the volume comes back up. I'm sure if you're looking at this unit you know how older sound equipment � gets scratchy after it hasn't been used in a long time. This may be able to be cleaned. The unit itself is super nice. It will make a great conversational piece or a daily user for you vintage record collection. The needle stylus is fine. Also auxiliary � hook up.� It's so ugly it's good looking.
