Technics SL-1200G Mat Recommendations
@tzh21y  Boston Mat 1 or 2?@avanti1960  I use a Hana SL which is shorter than most. Herbies might be a good option. When I had a Rega P3-24, I chucked the wool mat and replaced it with a Herbies.

Any Way To Damp Ringing Stands Without Adding Weight???

First time tube integrated buy
In your price range, I recommend a modern used integrated, Cayin or Primaluna. I have a Cayin A88-T Mk II, excellent build and sound quality. 
Dust Cover for Amps
I used this vendor for a custom cover for my Cayin Integrated. He does nice work at a reasonable price. All he needs are the dimensions of your amps and if you want the logo on the cover..https://www.ebay.com/itm/Dust-Cover-McIntosh-all-models/202... 
70's Receiver and/or Integrated Amp recommendations
The Sherwood S8900A was an excellent receiver. 
Primaluna Dialogue poremium, Rogue Cronus Magnum II or Jolida 801...who can advise me?
I have a Cayin A-88T Mk.II that is built like a tank and sounds great. It's the same quality as PL and costs a little less. Biasing is easy, all done from the top, no need to move the amp. I use KT-88's and EL34's as well as NOS preamp tubes 
Good Direct Drives
@bur70n  The Planer 3 is a fine TT. I would ask your dealer for an upgrade to an Exact 2.  
Good Direct Drives
@clearthink As an example, several reviewers have found that the RP8 runs fast straight out of the factory. Rega does not correct the problem. Intentional?   
speaker cable prices
Analysis Plus Black Oval 12. Under $300 for an 8 ft. pair. 
Anyone replace the power cord on 1200G?
@jbhiller  Did use Stevenson when you did the alignment with Feickert? 
Newbie with some turntable, cable, pre-amp, and speaker questions.
If you can stretch your budget a bit and for simplicity, I would recommend a used Rega P3 or P3-24 with an Elys 2 cartridge. You can also add a used Rega Fono or, for less $, a Nad phono preamp.

Thanks.

Alright, I’ll chime in here. I used Baerwald with the Freickert alignment tool. This morning I checked the overhang with the Technics overhang gauge and it was spot on. The reason I chose Baerwald was primarily because that is what Fremer used in ...
