Advice for mounting a TT shelf on a wall

For more than one reason, I have decided to place my TT on a wall shelf. Now it occurred to me that there may be preferable places on the wall for the shelf to be mounted. Taking into account standing waves, electrical interference (hum), and even height, I suppose that one location is preferable to another. 

 Also, this is a very heavy duty shelf, and there may be additional considerations just because of this. No doubt, I will locate wall studs for mounting. What considerations come to mind for this?

A load bearing 'outer wall'.

Preferably with no doors opening

and shutting into a door frame or

stairs attached to that wall.

Hit both studs dead center and

If your handy enough open a horizontal

slot between both studs and brace the

two studs together then use that

as a third spot to attach shelf. The

shelf itself will hide most of your drywall

repairs in any event. No corners as your 

aware.
