Need Simple, Easy-to-Use "Goof Proof" Audio Headshell Recommendation
Do you have the alignment gauge that came with the SL1200GR?  If your cart has threads, just put both screws in and tighten until the cart will not slide easily in the headshell slots. Then using the gauge, line up the stylus tip as per Technics ...

Fosi V3 Mono Break-In
Thanks for the info guys. The monos arrived last night and I tried them with the pre-out on my Naim Unitilite but it uses a DIN to RCA cable and the one I have is bad (introducing noise) so the sound was not great. I ordered the Pre90 last night a... 
Fosi V3 Mono Break-In
@audiodwebe  I have a pair of the V3 Mono on the way to try with a set of LRS+. What preamp are you using with them?  
Integrated Tube Amp approx. $2,500
Have a look at the Muzishare X7. I've had one for almost a year now, well built and sounds excellent. I had looked at the Willsenton but they had way too many issues, the X7 has been rock solid quality wise.  
Phono cable for SL-1200G
Generally you want a low capacitance cable between the turntable and phono stage. Look to see what manufacturers give measurements for this.  I'm using a lowly Blue Jeans Cable LC-1 which is 12.2 pF/ft (36.6 pF/ft over 3 feet) it was a noticeable... 
Clearaudio Concept with Satisfy Tonearm or Technics 1200 GR
@pgastone  I haven't tried any other mats, I do use a turntable clamp and I did notice an improvement. The only other tweak I have done is add a KAB tonearm damper and to be honest I'm not sure if it made any difference.  
Clearaudio Concept with Satisfy Tonearm or Technics 1200 GR
I have had both and was able to compare them directly.  I had a Clearaudio Concept but with the Verify arm for about 7 years. It's a nice looking deck and sounds good too. However mine required the platter bearing to cleaned re-oiled quite freque... 
Technics SL 1200 GR
I think you'll be pleased with that AT cartridge. Here's a common sort of stylus gauge... Stylus gauge Amazon On my SL1200 I use a tracking force of 1.8g for my 540ML. Technics advises to set the antiskate to the same value as you set the trac... 
Technics SL 1200 GR
 I moved from a Clearaudio Concept to a SL1200GR because of it's removable headshell. I thought it would be a lateral move sound quality wise, but it wasn't, the direct drive Technics sound floor is more quiet and the speed is always dead on. Oth...

The Horror
You have some nice equipment, you will be shocked at how much better it sounds if you research and apply some room treatments! From your system page it looks like you will have a lot of unwanted reflections going on in there.  
room setup suggesion needed
@ssg308, quality, properly set up subs will not add "boom". They will not only add more detail to the lower frequencies but will enhance the sound at higher frequencies as well. You will not be able to to localize the sound from the subs, it will ...

I have / had  sealed, rear ported, front ported and bottom ported "box" speakers. All would decrease in bass as they are moved from the wall boundaries. Trying different distances is key to finding the right balance between bass output and sound s...
