A friend of mine is moving out here (Santa Cruz) from Texas, and he's
worried about setting his stereo up in case an earthquake hits; in
particular, he's concerned about his Goldmund ST4 turntable.

Can anyone provide war stories of how your stereo survived (or didn't
survive) the latest quake.  Reference to how your turntable(s) fared
would be most appreciated.

He's thinking of putting the stylus cover on and removing the platter
whenever it's not in use.  Does this seem like a reasonable precaution?

Thanks for any info,
