This may be irrelavant, immaterial, or just personal choice but is there an accepted norm, or preference, for the height above floor for the record playing surface? For sonics, convenience of use, ease on the back, etc. Thanks.
If you get over 5000 feet, the air gets thin and may affect cartridge performance, as well as speaker sensitivity. But then, it would be really hard to reach the tonearm as well.
Actually, there were rumors of a 'mile-high transcription turntable' being developed at Groom Lake in the mid-60's; but the project was abandoned as it would probably draw too much attention to the top-secret area....
