Demos - To Charge a Fee or to Not Charge a Fee?
$10/hr sounds about right. For just being in the store. After all some people just walk in and out never buy a thing just look. But the store had to have lights and heat even for that. It is only fair. They can collect that along with the parking ...

Dedicated 20a lines, 125 feet distance, which gauge wire to run?
I will take a pass. If you really want to know, it has all been answered on my system page,  https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367    and in even greater detail in my posts. Search around it is all there. 
What $ percentage goes into the turntable, the arm, preamp, and cartridge?
It helps to have actually done this a few times. I can tell you that for sure a more expensive cart like my Koetsu is a lot better than the half the price Benz it replaced. But comparing the difference in cost with performance the improvement from...
