Costliest Brainfart
fbgbill - you win the cigar, my friend. Now, if one of you could come by and steal a broken tt, that'd be covered.  But then insurance would probably replace with another broken table so maybe I'll just suck it up. This mishap will rank up there...

Homeowner’s insurance…I’ll have to look into that. Thanks.  
Your audiophile chair
The Havberg set from Ikea is really nice.  I'm 6' 2.5" and my ears are just above the back of the chair.      
How to clean Karat 17D3 stylus?
Thanks, guys. I’ve always used a brush followed by a liquid cleaner but I’ve read that you have to be careful with any liquid as if it gets on the rubber support it can harden and damage over time. I never realized just how tiny the stylus were ... 
Scheu Turntable Importer in US?
I've got a Moerch UP-4 on my table, as well.  I like it. I had a Gyrodec with a UP-4 way back when.  It had one of the Benz Woods on it.  Sold it to fund a used car for my daughter.  Crazy to think nowadays that a used car  could be bought with t... 
Scheu Turntable Importer in US?
Thanks NK and PG, I think in the turntable world, the Eurolab (now Scheu) Premier, is one of the most beautiful decks around.  I read a review about it some 20 or so years ago and have lusted after it since.   Maybe one day…

Got it.  Thanks. How do you like your table?  
Some famous reviewers have atrocious listening rooms!
Thank you for the info.  I'll definitely check it out.  
Scheu Turntable Importer in US?
Thanks for the info. Figured out what I was doing wrong:  I was using the wrong knob to control the speed.  The toggle goes from center to the left and right.  Putting the toggle to the right is 33RPM.  But the knob on the left controls the speed... 
Memory foam as bass treatment?
Thanks for the suggestion.  Since I don’t need many, I’ll look into the tube traps.   Cheers   Mamoru  
Memory foam as bass treatment?
I really like the GIK products (244 with and without the scatter plate).  I've got 10 in my small room, which I think is 13x14.   Their prices are reasonable.  It's the shiiping that sucked!  
Memory foam as bass treatment?
Thanks, guys.   I did some research after posting (should probably have done that first) and the consensus was that it isn’t too effective.   I have lots of GIK panels but was considering ordering a few more and I have this mattress taking up ... 
Some famous reviewers have atrocious listening rooms!
I see that many are coming to the defense of the reviewers and their rooms, which is fine.  And I agree that you can't really tell how a room sounds simply by the looks of it, but I would argue you can make an educated guess. And I would argue an ... 
Some famous reviewers have atrocious listening rooms!
The way I see it is these reviewers with a large audience, many of whom will use the reviews to make a purchasing decision (hopefully along with more research) owe it to their readers to show them what their work space actually looks like.  Grante... 
Your thoughts on selling
I’ve yet to cull my collection.  Not sure of the numbers, but I’ve got 24 IKEA Lack slots filled with audiophile, imports and WLPs, 30 IKEA Lack of domestic vinyl and 20 1x1.5 feet small boxes filled with vinyl.  How many thousands that ends up be...
