Turntable Mats for Technics Grand Class, "G" Series
I've got a 1200G and I use a Stein Music 'The Perfect Interface' Pi mat. It's the only mat I've ever used on it, and it sounds excellent. Might have sounded just as excellent with something less expensive, but I'm happy.   
Does anyone listen to the radio anymore?
I've not listened to the 'radio' since the early 90's.

Anyone Know the Band Playing on T-Mobile Commercial?
Wish I'd heard the commercial a few years ago, I could have helped - I know that song really well, they used to play it all the time back then on our 'alternative' station in San Francisco...   
For Tube Folks...
'NOS' stands for 'New Old Stock', not 'New Original Stock'.

Any Audiophiles Here Have Experience with Hearing Aids?
@moto_man - if you've got a Costco nearby, you might want to investigate their hearing clinic; I sure did like buying a pair of last year's top-of-the-line Jabra hearing aids there for $1500 instead of the $6000 - $8000 I'd paid at regular audiolo...

@roxy54 - "Hey Hey My My" was from the 70's, not the 80's.   
Woodstock 1969, or 1967?
@re-lar-kvothe + 1 - The thread title says 'Woodstock', not 'Americana' or 'The Band'. Personally I don't let Eric Clapton or George Harrison or Bob Dylan or anybody else decide what I should like and what is 'good'; I prefer to choose for myself... 
Woodstock 1969, or 1967?
The 'psychedelic horsesh*t' was plenty fine by me. Unless Ertegun was being humorous, why trash what others like and what you sell just to support somebody else that you like? Is it not possible to like both the Band and all that great 'psychedeli... 
SHIPPING speakers?
Even for bookshelves, which in my case are still usually rather heavy with matching stands, I always insist on local pickup. Might take longer and I might have to sell for a bit less, but the lack of hassle is worth it to me.

Solid state amp that tube fan can be happy with?
I've got an MSB S-200 power amp and it seems to bring no coloration of its own to the party; I use it with a Herron Audio tube preamp, and it sounds like it's going through a tube preamp.   
Favorite Album Cover (picture or art on the cover)
@johnnybwood - That's Blodwyn Pig's "A Head Rings Out".... Great album!  
Favorite Album Cover (picture or art on the cover)
@bassbuyer - When 'Wish You Were Here' first came out, you couldn't even see the cover - there was a dark blue or purple wrapping around it, with a sticker saying what it was on the dark wrapper.
