Tear down these walls; Cut the ties that held me
Crying out at the top of my voice; Tell me now if you can hear me

Hi Alex,
I notice that you have your system located on a rack in the corner of your room, does your TT suffer at all from resonance problems in this location?
The reason I ask is that I have always tried to avoid placing my TT's in corners as they tend to amplify low frequencies which I assume would have a detrimental effect on sound reproduction. This is why my system lives about three and a half feet from a corner with the TT shelf located above the rack. Due to the acoustics of my room there is a drop off at low frequencies in this position. To achieve this I had to compromise by mounting the TT shelf to an internal wall, which is far from ideal.
If you're not having issues I might rethink my approach as it would allow me to relocate the TT shelf to an outside and very rigid wall. One slight concern I have is that it would bring the Technics in very close proximity to one of the DM2's which again isn't an ideal situation. Below is a pic which represents my current layout although it isn't recent, there's a an SL1210 sitting above where the Thorens is located in this pic on the TT shelf The plan is to relocate the system to where the the record cabinet is situated. Another option would be to place it where the Hafler is positioned in the photo, to the left of the DM2. This is doable but the sun streams right in through that window during summer afternoons and it might not be the wisest move to have a TT near window height under those conditions. Any thoughts?

I don't get to turn the wick up that often either Alex so it might be worth the gamble. The DM2 cabs are really solid and the transmission line port exits to the bottom, front of the cabinet so I might just get away with moving everything into the corner
