Turntable placement Advise.

I recently added a turntable to my system. I'd like to placed it on top of my center channel speaker right below the flat screen TV. Other than that I would have to place it about 18' away and I think maybe that is too far for a phono/component cable.
What are your thoughts?
Thanks.

Get it out of the listening room. The acoustic energy produced by the speakers will excite the TT no matter where you put it in the listening room. Next best solution is an acoustic screen. I know, I know my solution is not practical, but you did ask.

Okay so let see if I have this right.
Hook up the TT to the phono pre-amp box using short cables. Then the pre-amp to the audio/processor which by the way it's an Amthem AVM 50 using the long interconnects.

And yes the center speaker will be off when I play the record player.

Think again about putting a turntable on a speaker, working or not. It will act as a vibrating platform feeding noise back into what needs to be as stable a platform as possible reducing quality of output. Also what is the speaker sitting on? You need something rigid and level.
