Garage into listening room?
Charllee, Just looked at a map.  Turns out I’m about 30 minutes NW of Tacoma. Ft. Lewis has changed so much.  Bet you wouldn’t even recognize it nowadays.    
Garage into listening room?
I think this plan will be on hold until I decide to actually build a room into my garage.  I had forgotten just how cold (and hot) my garage can get.  I stepped out there a few days ago and thought it'd be difficult to heat that entire space to ev... 
Garage into listening room?
Thanks, everyone for the suggestions and info.  It's just an open garage with no pillars.  Since I sold my BMW 650i Coupe, none of my other cars are worthy of being pampered.  They will live outside and be happy.   Not sure if reverberant outhous...

Thank you.

Thanks for the suggestion.  They're not allowing anyone new to register. I've found out pulling the thing in/out is how it's adjusted.  Looks like pulled all the way out gets close to 0 and pushing all the way in is at its max. Unfortunately, th...

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?

Thank you for the info.  I'll definitely check it out.
