I bought my RDC platter direct from the Thorens distributor a few years ago. Have you contacted them? You may be still able to find one on the used market. I don't think that the extra gold-plated connector is hurting the sound - the only problem with contacts is if they are corroded or oxidized, which is not the case with gold-plated ones. If your Thorens connectors are on good shape, you are not losing anything. Of course, it would be a good thing to replace the stock cables but, as I understand, it is not an easy job. Actually, I tried to do that once and shipped my Thorens 320 MK III to a guy in Boston who was supposedy a Thorens expert and he disappeared with it and all the stuff, except the dustcover which I did not ship. (I posted the story here before.) I was also using AT-ML150 with mine and it was a great match. Even with the stock cables, it sounded great, after I upgraded the platter. The original platter/mat combination is not very good. If you cannot find the RDC platter, you may want to try the Iron Audio mat instead, or maybe one of those Boston graphite mats. I bet that you would be surprised at the improvement.
