Hi fi shows (Heathrow and others) in the very early seventies used virtually nothing but the 125 / SME. These looked wonderful and performed perfectly. Looked even better if fitted in the SME plinth of the day.....I don't remember LP12s being in evidence at the time at all. There were a number of different TTs on the market at the time, but the 125 was invariably the 'weapon of choice'.
Despite being unfamiliar with the technicalities, the combination of 125 / SME / SME was very aspirational.
