How Do You Stack Your Equipment?


In the next month I'll finally have all my equipment, and will be ready to put the components on a Sistrum 6 shelf rack. The equipment which will be on the rack includes a tube amp, tube pre-amp, SACD player, DAC tube unit, tuner, Linn turntable, and a Monster Power Center. Obviously that's 7 items for 6 shelves. I intend to put the tt on the top shelf, but how would you setup the individual pieces on this rack from the floor up or does it even matter in what order they are stacked? What might you leave off to the side as I can't fit everything on one rack?

The above mentioned reasons are why i ended up building the racks that i did i.e. i couldn't find a product that was commercially available that had enough shelving, the spacing that i was looking for or the type of suspension that i was looking for in one product. As such, i found some commercial products that i could work with, gutted them and then adapted them to work with what i was looking for. I've been happy ever since.

As far as your specific situation goes, you might want to think about setting the tube amp off to the side on an amp stand. This would allow plenty of air-flow all the way around it for improved tube life, ease of access to the binding posts and allow you to give each of the components the dedicated shelf that they deserve.
