I would think that this is pretty easy.
For 45 years, since I was 22, my table has rested on a cabinet that’s bolted to a brick wall. The cabinet height is about a standard 36 inches. The turntable surface is 41.5" high. When I am holding an LP, I’m standing straight up, my arms are bent almost to 90 degrees but slightly up. Clamping is a breeze. I don’t bother with a ring. I never clean or brush a record on the table: I do that at the record cleaning machine, which is about an inch higher.
tablejocke: my room is not 100% dedicated, but all that’s up here are my books, my records, audio system, my computer and my dog. The room is semi-anechoic, by design.
