The concrete floor is a good thing for either suspended or a
non suspended turntable.
My recommendation is not have anything between your speakers.
This is where bass builds up in a system.
Having a rack between the speakers also effects imaging and depth of stage.
I prefer having all components except for the power amp on a side wall, using short speaker cables if possible and running long interconnects to the preamp.
This will work fine as long as your preamp can drive long interconnects.
Some tube preamps do not have a cathode follower and would not be recommended.
Hope this helps!
