Equipment Location at First Reflection Point

Probably not good especially if you play vinyl. May cause feedback through the cartridge.

You could use a stand-alone absorber diffusor panel in front of it. Having a matching one on the other side would not be a bad thing either.

Very good idea

Vinyl isn't an issue--the TT is not on the rack and is located in a base null on the same wall toward the front but not in the corner.  That would be the ideal location for the rack but then the TT would have to be at the first reflection point.  I thought about a panel but with the room configuration i would have to move it out of the way every time i access the rack, although that isn't that big a deal i suppose. WAF may come into play.  I have absorption on the left wall reflection point.  I could mount a panel on hinges on the rack and just swing it out of the way?  Kinda lose the cool factor of seeing the equipment though...got an old R to R there...sniff...

The question is, how does it sound to you in it's current state? Is the soundstage and tonal quality correct from your listening position? You may be chasing a problem that doesn't exist.
