Physically awkward components...


I have a Bel Canto DAC and even though I really like it, its design is somewhat of a pain for me. I wish all connectors were on the same side of the unit, but they are not. Getting all the cables together is such a pain in the rear.

Anyone else have similar problems with other components?

Those Pass Aleph 3 amps looked like a challenge to handle! My Mcintosh amp weighs 95 lbs.! It takes two to move the damn thing.
You are right about the Pass Aleph amps. Nelson Pass is sadistic, that't the only possible explanation.
Well my amps are in that weight class but not as cumbersome as the CAT pre, with the power supply.
Yeah, like top loading CD players/transports when you have no other choice (usually due to WAF) but to stack components in a cabinet.

Enjoy,
