ISO Pucks with Harbeth and Sklyan Stands
Before I got the SHL5's, I had the C7es-3's, also on Sklyan stands. It's hard to imagine the C7's sounding bad under almost any scenario. I gave the C7's to my son and they still sound great in their new home.   
Anybody have both Herbie's Cone/Spike Pucks and isoacoustics gaia's

It sounds like you had Pulsatile Tinnitus which is associated with the rhythm or beat of your heart. This is unrelated to tinnitus caused by acoustic trauma.

Technics 1200 G a Forever Turntable?
Before I got the Achromat, I tried the Herbie's mat. I felt that the Herbie's was an improvement over the stock rubber mat. Based on various recommendations I decided to try the Achromat. The result was a more detailed presentation than the Herbie...

@jbrrp1 Not to hijack the thread, but what mat did you settle on. I am currently using the Funk Firm Achromat.
