Optimum TT Height

Dcstep is thinking along my lines - ergonomic design.

For me, this ends up with record platter height just a bit lower - perhaps 4" below my elbows as I like a less acute angle when placing a record on a platter.

Think in terms of holding a record in front of you and placing it on a platter ... what feels most natural to you.

For me this ends up being the above, and for others this may be quite a bit higher. Handling a tonearm makes sense at this height for me too!

Regular record handling is fine at that height, but standing over a protractor can be panful.

I usually do my setup (sighting in on the protractor) on one knee ... gets my head at the right height with little strain.
