Viewed from the front, the turntable on the left looks a little precarious but I'm guessing that it would make little sense to move it to the other side of the VU array, just for the sake of aesthetic balance.
Thank you for your kind attention and nice advice!
Yes, you are quite right regarding the "aesthetic balance". (My wife also said so...)
The reasons for my current "that" layout of TT
DENON DP57L are;
1. The height of the TT (about 140 cm above the floor) is just fit for my occasional "vinyl LP play ceremony" since I can very easily and precisely "observe" the cartridge and stylus without hardly bending my lower-back and knee; furthermore, I can easily access to the TT from front side and/or from left side! (My height of heel to head-tp is 174 cm.)
2. The amplifier
SONY TA-A1ES (driving only my Beryllium tweeters) on the right side of the cabinet is quasi-Class-A (into Class-AB in high load) which is a little bit warm/hot at the top cover, and hence I hesitate to put other audio gears including TT on top of it,
3. I decided the layout of the TT
DENON DP57L and the phono preamp
AUDIO-TECHNICA AT-PEQ30 also to minimize the (even inaudible though) EMF (electromagnetic field) interference noise(s) (ref.
here).
As I recently also shared
here on
the thread entitled "Turntable atop of other devices", the big and heavy (22.0 kg) CD player
DENON DCD-3500RG (nowadays I seldom use/power-on it) plus the big and heavy (24.4 kg)
ACCUPHASE E-460 which is a physically "cool" (I mean slightly warm, around 40 degree-C on work) class-AB integrated amplifier; they nicely serve as really heavy and rigid "base" for my TT. I have no heat nor vibration problem at all, therefore, with my TT
DENON DP-57L (12.4 kg including the 854 g LP stabilizer) in this stacking layout!
