Turntable Placement

Greetings All:

Here is my Q:

I have a VPI TNT3 on the VPI base filled with lead shot. My room is in process of a facelift so I have the option of moving things around now.

I have Magnepan 3.7, VTL MB450, and CAT SL1 Preamp. I would like to move my TT closer to the amps so that I don't have to put the interconnects under the carpet again (but if I have to, that's totally fine).

In a perfect world, I would put my TT much closer to the speakers, but I am afraid that the reverberation, etc., will make a significant impact on my TT performance. Any advice?

How about adding extra compliance to the lead shot base with a Gingko TNT specific Jumbo cloud 10 platform?

Personally, I'd replace the CAT with a balanced preamp and use some inexpensive made to order Canare cables from Blue Jeans Cable and circle the room to connect the VTL's. If Canare is too pedestrian for you taste these have been a hot topic.
