Do you mean that the hardwood is directly attached to the concrete (ie: glued?) My components sit on the concrete slab under my house, si the result should be similar. A 10,000# slab is pretty stable so there's no problems with vibration, though I understand that surface waves can travel on top of the concrete but that's obsessive, even by my standards. Wire dressing is no more of an issues than with a stand. Bending down at my age IS an issue. The preamp and streamer are both remote equipped but the turntable is a pain! I've considered a sand filled concrete pylon to put the table at chest height but have not yet done so. Dust needs vacuuming daily. A unexpectedly significant improvement comes from not having anything sound reflective behind and between the speakers, which is where my components sit. It's like gaining an extra foot of wall to speaker distance. Overall, I love it!
