Is it bad to stack your equipment


Is it really bad to stack components on top of each other. I keep getting more and more multi box components like a DAC/CD and preamps that have clean/dirty box configurations. High end racks cost so much money it would seem I could save a lot of money by stacking some equipment.

Bgrazman is right. Stacking can negate the very purpose of clean/dirty boxes. Also consider that the likely hood of scratching componenets or leaving traces of rubber footings increases dramaticly. This can devalue your equipment for resale. Those racks serve a purpose.
