Component Placement


I will have a preamp, two mono amps and a CD player/transporter. Where is the best place to put these and what should I set them upon? I have Magnepan 1.7i’s. Thank you for your consideration and reply.

If possible I would place source and pre on stand to one side of listening position, and, as noromance stated, the mono amps by the speakers. No soundstage interference around your speakers.
+1 noromance, and mesch.
If you can run balanced interconnects, then longer distances between the preamp and source are minimized.
Using sound dampeners or isolation under your components would also be a good idea.
My amps are on Sound Anchor Stands. Under each amp are either Herbie's Fat Dots or Stillpoints. Same with Preamp and DAC.

@elizabeth ,
Though I like having short speaker cables, 6 inches is really too short, for me. I think anything under 4-5 feet is just as good. Also, remember that some amps get mighty hot (think tubes).
