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

My TT is located adjacent to my listening position on the long wall with other source equipment, my preamp and some LP's. Amps are between the speakers on the short wall. Other LP's are shelved with CD's on the wall opposite the electronic's. TT sits on a high mass stand on a wood floor of 2x6" T&G sub flooring and a 3/4" T&G hardwood floor. Very well suported (2x12" planks on 12" centers). Turntable is isolated from the stand by alternating layers of wood and sorbothane. Works quite well - the only down side is a 25ft run of I/C's from pre-amp to amp.
