| The Hub: Thorens TD-125: the table that couldn't get no respect I had in mind the Millennium carbon fiber mat that Music Direct sells for $349. I have one of their CD mats. I tried to post a picture but it didn't go up. | |

| The Hub: Thorens TD-125: the table that couldn't get no respect That is exactly it. A good mat will help a lot. I use to sell several in the 80s, still have a Platter Matter somewhere. I am not as familiar with the ones today. I think they are probably better and I am sure they will cost more. TTWeights make s... | |

| The Hub: Thorens TD-125: the table that couldn't get no respect he problem with a resonate platter is that it reflects the vibrations generated by the stylus tracing the groves. No one though this important when the 125 was designed but a better understanding of the micro dynamics of LP playback showed that it... | |
| mixing power cords? I use a mishmash myself, Oyaide, Gutwire and PS Audio. I bought 2 previous generation PS Statement PCs from Hong Kong for about $200 each. I have heard about counterfeits but they certainly look genuine, ground plug unscrews, logo accurate etc. I ... | |
| Duntech repairs? Yes, Madisound has been in business for years, I just received a pair of Scanspeak tweeters from them today. Give them a call and see if they can help. I am not an expert on Duntech except to know that they were a respected brand. | |
| The Hub: Thorens TD-125: the table that couldn't get no respect I have had several, the last about 20 years ago. If you really want to hear them sing take the platter off and give it a tap. They really benefit from a good mat. | |
| Duntech repairs? I would check with Vifa or someone like Madisound. I wouldn't do any business with a company that didn't support their own products. There are several DYI audio forums that might help. | |
| Will using bothA and B spkr out half amps power? Your amp will be seeing a different impedance driving both so you should also take this into account. | |
| hardwood floor and speaker There are many discs designed to go under the spikes. I would consider a wool area rug under the equipment stand and speakers. When I took my carpet out I got one from Costco to put under them. Also one from RUGMAN that I put in the center of the ... | |
| How tall are your speaker stands Its tweeter at ear level but many variables can enter in. You could have the speakers tilted up or down if at wrong angle. | |
| add remote control AC on/off for power amp? I made the exception for Class A in memory of the time a Krell customer relations official told me that "If you leave our amps on without playing them you void the warranty". I was a Krell dealer at the time and one of my KMA 100s had just blown u... | |
| add remote control AC on/off for power amp? Leave it on all the time. It will sound better unless you are getting a Class A amp. | |
| 9", 10" or 12" tonearms I now have a 12.7 VPI, which is a great arm, as well as shorter arms. My own opinion is that good arms of any length have more performance in them than most ever get out of them. The 12" arms require different length arm boards or even different t... |
