Bent stylus or normal? ~5-10 degrees off horizontal when looking directly from the front
Just read Yogiboys suggestion on a different thread suggesting swapping the left/right channel tubes. Gave that a shot, no change unfortunately. should I swap the left and right channel on the actual cartridge to see if that does anything, or are ... 
1 pair of good interconnects- which 2 components should I use them on?
Haha I couldn't agree more, and when I'm out of school and not on such a tight budget I will absolutely invest in better interconnects. But for the time being (another couple of years) I'll have to live with what I've got...

BARNES & NOBLE HAS VINYL!!!!! BUT IS THE QUALITY UP TO AUDIOPHILE STANDARDS ????
Picked up 2 albums from B&N the other day and 2/4 LP's had several small (pin head size) circular dents/impressions. Would have never expected that considering the packaging looked fine. They'll be going back tomorrow.

Thorens TD 125 MK II with TP 16 tonearm - What's it worth?
So a trade isn't going to work out, if I can get it for $400 cash is that a good deal or just average? I'll need to start selling stuff to even attempt to afford $400

Would a Technics SL-1200 MK2 be an upgrade from a Denon DP-31L?
Thanks Tim for the feedback, good to hear too regarding the weight. I'll check out the butyl tape as well. Are you saying to put it directly on the metal platter and then the rubber mat on top of the butyl tape?
