New Place - What Would You Do?
Fingers cross you ex hasn't hurt your records. Seems like a great space for a live sound. If it were me, I'd set up a small test rig in different locations to try out the space before the main build. 
Power Conditioner
Uh oh. Start saving. 
Whats on your turntable tonight?

I wish someone would come over and demo all these Synergistic transducer thingys. I attended a number of Peter Belt demos in the 80s with foil triangles and, while skeptical, did hear changes. My hypothesis is that playing the same tune twice will... 
SME 20/3 --- tonearm recommendations!?
SME recommend the Series V. The IV is not as good by a margin. Not sure of the mods you mention on the IV but I heard the two in an acquaintance’s Townshend Rock system albeit some time ago.
