We moved into our renovated house at the beginning of the year. System setup has been a work in progress, but I think I am getting close to what I want.
Anyway- here's a current pic of my setup. System is as described in my profile.
Best,
Ross

Ross, this is intended to be helpful so please take it as such.
Your turntable appears to be in somewhat of an alcove, formed by the corner of the room and a record cabinet. Would everything still connect if you switched your amps with the tt to get it out of that corner?
I ask because there may well be a loading of acoustic vibrations in that corner which affect your arm and stylus. My tt is on a 60" long shelf set into an alcove. By experiment I found sonics improved when I moved my tt from the right hand end of the shelf (which placed the arm and cartridge near a corner) toward the left end of the shelf (which placed the arm and cartridge nearer to the mid-point of the shelf). If curious just play back any music with heavy bass content and lean your head into that corner over your tt to hear how it loads up.
And not to be a wise guy but how can you get much access to those drawers under your tt?

Arm is an ITTOK not Akito.
Will check profile links.
Still a work in progress. May put a bamboo support and spikes under the table. May reorient wiring and equipment position. Lower drawers of the cabinet in the picture are filled with 15 years of Sterophile and other mags. Upper drawers are filled with tubes.
Thanks.
My mistake. The arm looked like a Akito in the Pic. The Ittok is a nice arm. One thing that will bring immediate upgrade in sound will be putting the table on a more rigid stand like a Target turntable wall mount shelve. Depending on what PS you have in the LP12 but a good price to performance upgrade is the Vahalla PS.
Depending on your taste in sound removing the bottom cover reduces that lower mid bass hump but since you have the Ittock arm it may not be a big issue but trying if you haven't already is a must.
Has Valhalla PS, thinking of Hercules upgrade which is supposed be 15 min installation.
Can't do wall mount in this location, though wall mount would be preferred. Current location is very solid; I can knock on the surface and I don't hear any feedback or sound. Thinking of putting the TT on a bamboo platform with spike isolation.
Will probably send a Denon 103D to Soundsmith for rebuilding; that should be a significant sonic change.
It's not bad but you can do much better for not much more in cost than the Akito.
I had an LP12 and once I upgraded the arm to a Incognito Modded Rega RB-250 with a Benz Glider. It raise the level of that LP12 to another level. The only Drawback was I did have to have the corner brace slightly trimmed to keep the bottom of the arm from hitting the brace when it bounced but didn't hurt the table at all.
Hope this helps.
I just clicked on Ross's profile to see his eye-candy system, and my computer's virus protection froze the computer with a warning that the link has a virus. Hope this is not true, as this would mean that out beloved A.A. has an issue. I did not try again.
Later Gator,

So my Panda is actually doing its job.
Very nice setup. Care to list the items that are shown in the picture?
