Is it idiotic to stack an amp and tuner directly on top of a CD player?

Thanks ghosthouse. As it happens, the Electrocompaniet EMC-1UP that I own is remarkably heavy and solid. I can't imagine that it would have any problems holding even both Accuphase components.

I actually have had both sitting directly on top of a well-made Dennon CD player with no noticeable adverse effects over about year, and the EMC is far more solid and robust.

But, as you say, far from ideal. I suppose that I should consider a dedicated stand, but the vintage wooden table is both very stable and beautiful.

@whipsaw I am a little confused by your original cd player on bottom proposal because isn't the EMC-1UP a top loader? And I would be wary of putting anything on top of your Accuphase if it's a class A amp it really needs adequate ventilation.

Gottasay, since you've got good gear AND experience with Salamander and Herbie's product, it seems like you already know the answer!;)

@jond

The EMC is a top-loader, but the loading area is recessed a bit, and there would be adequate room to load and unload CDs. The roof above the platter slides in, and exposes it. And as there are two wide sections on either side of that mechanism, the feet of whatever is sitting on top would be well away from the moving parts.

The Accuphase that I am using is not a contemporary Class A, it is a (superb) vintage E-303x (class B or A/B, not sure which). It does run warm, though.

Correction in my post above, "no air vents to worry about with player on top of amp."

Meant to say, no air vents to worry about with amp on top of player.
