No, it is an outside, load-bearing wall with no perpendicular walls, though I understand your point. Built in the 50's it has 16" spaced studs AND angular bracing between studs (I know because I stripped off and replaced old knotty pine paneling!). So, wall vibrations were really not the issue in this case. Moving the rack 2 feet fully solved the issue, so I was always under the impression that air-borne vibrations were, indeed, the culprit. I can set a glass of water on the rack now at cranking volume, without so much as a ripple on the surface. I now use the wall rack for one table with two other tables sitting on sand-filled Osiris Giza amp stands. They all sound equally good, can't pinpoint any benefit of one placement over the other.
Where is Your Turntable?
How about a little survey with respect to where you've positioned your turntable? On the side wall behind or in front of the speakers, opposite end wall from those closest to the speakers, between the speakers and behind, another room, etc. If you had free reign to choose any position (provided it is in the same room!) what position do you deem best.
Also, I've heard some claim that while a wall mount (assuming it is very rigidly mounted and with plenty of mass) will benefit a suspended table, but one is better off with a high-mass, floor-sitting base for a non-suspended table. I've tried various ways and have my own results, but am looking to see what others have found.
Thanks
