Where is Your Turntable?


How about a little survey with respect to where you've positioned your turntable? On the side wall behind or in front of the speakers, opposite end wall from those closest to the speakers, between the speakers and behind, another room, etc. If you had free reign to choose any position (provided it is in the same room!) what position do you deem best.

Also, I've heard some claim that while a wall mount (assuming it is very rigidly mounted and with plenty of mass) will benefit a suspended table, but one is better off with a high-mass, floor-sitting base for a non-suspended table. I've tried various ways and have my own results, but am looking to see what others have found.

Thanks

Mine came out of the closet... Honest!

Well, at least it's back into the system. Many years ago a TT was the centerpiece and reasonably well contained in a home-brew contraption. Then came the grunions - you know, rug rats. The whole system (except speakers, of course) migrated into a closet in an adjoining hallway - unusual, yes, but away from prying and PBJ-covered fingers. Over the years family demands changed, CDs arrived, and the turtable & vinyl migrated to a storage closet. And then there was this stupid, stupid thread here earlier this year that kinda booted my butt into gear and the turntable literally came out of the closet and I started listening to vinyl again. Family status and accompanying FAF (Family AF) means that it's sitting on a jury-rigged pseudo-isolation contraption on a shelf, but it has to be along the front wall between the speakers today. At least it's out in the light of day...
