Physically Separate Amp from Other Equipment????


Is there any value in separating my amp from my other pieces of equipment (Spectron Musician II)? By this, I mean that I am considering moving my amp to the bottom shelf of my rack while keeping my Dac and Preamp/Transport combo on the top two shelves. That would mean that instead of having only 5 inches or so between my amp and the rest of my equipment, I might have almost two feet between the amp and the rest of my equipment. Will it make any difference????

As a rule, keeping an amplifier close to front end equipment can and usually will have a dileterious affect on the audio signal. Amplifiers put out a large electronic field. Other equipment can suffer from that field. If there are no expensive problems associated with the move I would suggest you do it before you even finish reading this post.
Good post and good answers. Within reason keep your amp , front end, cables and power cords seperated. Improvements can range from mild to jaw dropping.
