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

About 1 foot behind and inside of the left speaker. Not ideal in anyone's book, but it's all the room allows.

We had to make a functional, decent looking living room, leave the fireplace exposed, include the audio system AND a 43" widescreen. All this in a 13 x 17 space. Now that was a challenge.

It took me two months of shuffling furniture and equipment around (on my computer screen, fortunately) before I got a layout that worked... more or less. There isn't a spare cubic inch anywhere, yet it doesn't feel crowded. (Of course I'm pretty skinny!) Even the cats have room, and the sound in the sweet spot is actually quite decent.
