Where is Your Turntable?

Mine is on the side wall behind the speakers, with interconnects as short as I could reasonably make them. I intentionally chose not to place the turntable rack between or immediately behind the speakers on the theory that soundstaging might be compromised, but I've recently heard several systems in which such "behind-and-centered" configuration has worked out quite well.

Turntable and rack are of the high mass variety, floor is suspended wood floor over a crawl space with multiple floor jacks increasing the rigidity of the flooring under the turntable and the speakers.

I also have toyed with the thought of the turntable being in another room for isolation, but the interconnect length that would be needed has always dissuaded me.

sitting on a 40 lb of soapstone and aurious bearings, on a heavy baltic birch slab, to one side, behind the speakers, in the system photos.

My TT is located adjacent to my listening position on the long wall with other source equipment, my preamp and some LP's. Amps are between the speakers on the short wall. Other LP's are shelved with CD's on the wall opposite the electronic's. TT sits on a high mass stand on a wood floor of 2x6" T&G sub flooring and a 3/4" T&G hardwood floor. Very well suported (2x12" planks on 12" centers). Turntable is isolated from the stand by alternating layers of wood and sorbothane. Works quite well - the only down side is a 25ft run of I/C's from pre-amp to amp.

Veddy eeenteresting, thus far.

Patrick, I built my absorption paenl based on the Jon Risch recipe. I have pics of various contruction phases should you have interest. They're easily built.

Mine is centered on the side wall to the left of the speakers as you are facing them. Two racks: One for the table/Walker Motor Controller, and on for the pre-amp and it's power supply. This requires a 26 ft run of IC's between the preamp and the mono amps which sit on stands in between the speakers.

My racks are DIY two shelf units, constructed of 1 3/4" rock maple with threaded brass rods, washers and nuts. TT sits on another 3" thick maple slab coupled to the rack using Mapleshade brass cone points. Motor controller sits on Walker Valid Points, which sit on Walker Resonance Control Discs.
