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

Well, you can tell where mine is by my system pictures, but for those who don't wish to look it is behind and almost centered between the speakers on top of a DIY stand. I toyed with placing everything opposite the speakers (and I still may), but the wall behind the speakers is very accessible so that's where the dedicated circuits went for the analog and digital components. My table may be a bit high off the floor but since everything is on a concrete basement foundation I didn't worry about it.

Like those absorbers, 4yanx! I have four, 3x4, one 15"x90", and a boatload of Jon R's bass traps. Most of those are the 12" diameter, but I do have one 16 incher that tames the bass in a particularly troubling corner behind the speakers.
