Center placed equipment stands

+1 rollintubes

I moved my washer and dryer to the garage, then set up the electronics in the laundry room, running the speaker wires through the wall.  I mentioned this to the local Linn dealer.  It turns out he did the same thing.  Another advantage is the dedicated 20 amp washer outlet. 

Any adjacent room or closet will work, unless of course, it is important to show your gear off.  The CD and XM remotes still work, reflecting off of a wall,  when the door is open.  A mirror has worked elsewhere, I really wanted to put the turntable on a stand in the speaker room,but did not want to run long wires from the M/C cartridge.  No vibration isolation is needed at all!

I’d like to be a glitz queen, but unfortunately my equipment rack is off to
the side

Your one of the rare "queens" that listens, not that there's anything wrong with that😊


Glitz queens take note, and listen, not just to this, but finally to your music.

Recently, after reading Get Better Sound, I decided to get everything out of the middle.
I did it in phases, first removing the TV and consolidating the racks, then I listened. There was a distinct improvement in the stereo image and sound stage. Now everything is gone from between the speakers.
  The results have been phenomenal. Live jazz is literally staged in the club as if I were sitting front and center. My reference records have never sounded so good. When I listen to the better recorded and mixed rock n’ roll I am hearing things like never before, like I have a new system, it’s so compelling.
