Mine is on the side wall behind the speakers, with interconnects as short as I could reasonably make them. I intentionally chose not to place the turntable rack between or immediately behind the speakers on the theory that soundstaging might be compromised, but I've recently heard several systems in which such "behind-and-centered" configuration has worked out quite well.
Turntable and rack are of the high mass variety, floor is suspended wood floor over a crawl space with multiple floor jacks increasing the rigidity of the flooring under the turntable and the speakers.
I also have toyed with the thought of the turntable being in another room for isolation, but the interconnect length that would be needed has always dissuaded me.
