Amps on top?


I have read that an amp should not be on your top shelf, but rather on the bottom 

Is there anything to this?  Assuming a well-isolated system throughout.  
TIA

                        Into swings, are we?

Law of science.

Heavier items at bottom, lighter ones higher up, duh. This discussion makes me feel stupid...

Roger Modjeski recommended at least two feet of air space above his Music Reference tube power amps. Lack of ventilation greatly reduces component (capacitors etc) lifespan. The companies that mount their output tubes on vertically-orientated circuit boards are apparently not concerned with that issue. I am.

@rodman99999 ....*L*  Well, yeah....we design, build, and install playground structures (beats a 'real' job), so it kinda comes with the turf....

In our case, playground mulch or surfacings....details, details.... ;)

MOF, got a pallet with HDG steel frames and hardware sharing our parking space.

*L* 'Someone's' got to 'do' this sort of thing...."

Once upon a while, I used to 'do' commercial graphics and signage....my 'cocktail party' quip when asked 'What do you do?' was....

"I get to tell you where to go...."

That got varied responses.... ;)

(Bay Area, later in Houston....office buildings, hospitals, garage structures...that sort of thing.  Like doing playgrounds, the kids are more appreciative of being told where and what to play on and with....*G*)

A bedroom 'lift' would help get me out of bed...not so much 'up'....I can still manage That by self, thanks for not asking.... ;) *LOL*

"...mine is 2 slabs of cast-off 1.5" stone of indeterminate nature with a beefy pine frame....takes 2 to move empty...

                      A good Carpenter lets no, "wood" go to waste, right?
