Turntable placement Advise.


I recently added a turntable to my system. I'd like to placed it on top of my center channel speaker right below the flat screen TV. Other than that I would have to place it about 18' away and I think maybe that is too far for a phono/component cable.
What are your thoughts?
Thanks.

Think again about putting a turntable on a speaker, working or not. It will act as a vibrating platform feeding noise back into what needs to be as stable a platform as possible reducing quality of output. Also what is the speaker sitting on? You need something rigid and level.
Well you can't put it on a speaker so it'll have to go 18 feet away. How about a phono amp beside it to drive the cable? Or wall mount it to the side of the center speaker. ..
