Where do you have your rack?

After reading Jim Smith's book, I moved my rack to the sidewall. There is a lot that I like about it. Easy access to source components and to the volume as long as you run a preamp. But, I feel like the long interconnects are the weakest link in my system and that it does not give me much flexibility.

I'm about to move to an integrated amp and am thinking about moving my rack behind and between my speakers so that I can keep using my best interconnects. Any thoughts/experiences?

Even telephones, according to Linn. They are probably right but I admit to having some other speakers in the room occasionally. I have my racks between and behind my speakers, probably not the best place but my room configuration makes it the most practical. If someone wants to send me a pair of Cardas GRs longer than the 2.5M ones I have I will try the side wall and report back.

I have decided to move mine to the sidewall; not a minor operation. Besides the unloading, moving, rebalancing etc., I have to have some more dedicated lines put in, no big job because I have a junction box within a few feet on the back of the wall I am moving them to. I was able to get a good long IC on here that should do a good job within my budget. I will let you know how it comes out. Anyone demanding a blind comparison of the two locations will be dealt with severely.
