tube heat


I just built new shelving for my all tube stereo gear; amp, preamp& cd player. I'm now concerned with the heat build up. What's a safe temperature for these components to run at? What's the best method for heat dissipation? Cones, fans, etc. I welcome any responses

Open air ventilation is all you need, no fans necessary.

Don't put them in a cabinet with doors. If you must, remove the back of the unit, spread the shelves as far from each other as possible and keep it a few inches off the back wall. But really, don't do it. Cheers,
