Why do turntables sound different?

The corner is the strongest part of a suspended wood floor.  The corner of my room is approx 22 feet away from my speakers. You cannot feel any vibration when standing in front of the turntable stand. You can feel the floor vibrate a bit when standing behind my speakers. I rather have my turntable and all my front end gear (which is tube) as far from my speakers as possible.

@lostbears I have my turntable in the corner on the opposite side of the room from my speakers. It sits on a 3" maple block which sits on a VPI turntable stand filled with sand. I have all my front end equipment in that corner as far from the speakers as possible. I run a pair of 9 meter interconnects from the preamp to the amp which sits between the speakers

Placing a TT in a corner is worst than between the speakers due to the fact that corners collect and reflect acoustic energy which would be transferred to the table. 

Since the resonant frequencies of the turntable platter, tonearm and cartridge are intentionally designed to be much lower than the lowest airborne vibration frequency you can pretty much ignore airborne vibration. 

 rsf507, What about airborne vibration?

nknor instead of getting the TT out of the room and spending huge $$$ on ic's and speaker cables why not get some great isolation platforms like minus-k or Vibraplane? Problem solved.

 I agree it is all about vibration and speed stability. I am puzzled when I see a high priced turntable sitting on a rack between two speakers. The positioning of the turntable to avoid vibration is critical.

I thought about responding but, decided against.

The reason for this thread is of concern?

@roberjerman ~ I agree with you, vibrations is where it's at.  Let's also add speed stability in rotating the platter.

TTs OUT of the room !! In fact all equipment OUT of the room.

Speakers and amps in room.

Long ICs , Short SCs

Does not mean that you will not need a decent rack and some isolation footers, spikes etc. but you won't need to spend big $$.

If your serious about Vinyl ?? At minimum; TT out of room. IMO.

It's ALL about the VIBRATIONS! Every part of every TT vibrates! Some more or less than others! And the stylus "reads" these along with the vibrations in the LP grooves. So controlling and eliminating the mechanical vibrations from the TT is a major challenge for designers. And of course some TT's do IT better than others! Rekokut vs. Continuum!
