Speaker positioning: why do audiophiles neglect this so much?
On the subject of placing equipment between speakers, Jim Smith focused more on the visual distraction of this vs. degradation of the sound--he also focuses on this being possibly a location where bass frequencies might be strong and why you need ... 
Most beautiful turntable under $5k
I realize you're probably excluding custom tables, but someone above mentioned Lenco in custom plinths so a shoutout to Jean Nantais of TJN analog who does beautiful woodwork for his custom rebuilt Lencos.  Most are under $5K--i bought one of his ... 
Improving Comcast modem signal
