Would love to hear some views on the optimum height for a turntable. I would guess that the users' height plays a role here. I am 5' 9" or 69" tall, so I am thinking a good workable TT height would be approx. 51". Any ideas?
Stands like the Mapleshade Samson often use standard length threaded rod, as in 48" in this case, which then puts the actual height a couple inches higher with the cones. Add to this the three "P"s of vinyl, platform, plinth, and platter and you end up with your 51+", with no need for custom cutting.
I'm 6' tall and have 2 TT rigs. 1 is at 48" platter height, the other is at 55". Both are very comfortable. I've had them on lower stands (mid-belly height or lower) and it's awful.
