Looks like M&K is back in Business?
Why would you want to buy from an unstable company, newly back in business? Think of all the buyers they left on the warranty curb. 
Can someone suggest a turntable shelf?
A wall shelf is a great DIY project. Home Depot has brackets and the shelf itself can be made from all kinds of different materials. Lots of clues on the forums. If you don't want to go DIY, the Target shelf is pretty good for the money and you ca...

Marten Coltrane Alto speakers
A year to break in at those prices? Why does the manufacturer not break them in before they are sold. If a speaker can't be broken in after running it for a month with pink/white noise, you have been had. Sounds like 6moons has lost its way in thi... 
Suggestions for an effective record cleaning kit??
No time to fool around. Nothing but a Keith Monk's professional unit will do. You can land a brand new, double platter unit for about $5,000., but after that you will never need another record cleaning machine. Think of all the time ou will save l...

How would you run an audio salon?
First, don't set up in a street level store front. Walk ins will drive you to the poor house. Make it a second floor walk up with frontage on the street, so you get plenty of daylight. Second, Hours should be 1PM to 8PM, Tuesday to Saturday. Of co...
