Tube amp on the floor or on the rack?


I just bought a BAT VK-60 tube amp yesterday and now I
need to re-arrange my set-up. I don't trust putting
the amp on the floor, so can I put it on the top shelf
of my rack? Every tube amp on a dealers showroom is on
the floor. Any particular reason?
Thanks,
Dave

If you put it on the floor you must get it up in the air. I had mono tube amps and the best thing I did was have a carpenter friend build me boxes filled with sand. Plus I then used Black Diamond cones to isolate the amps. Tubes need a stable platform.
