I had them stacked without issue for several years.
question for SLP05 owners:
Back when the SLP05 first came out, the (separate) power supply was designed so that the actual preamp part of the SLP 05could sit on top of the power supply. I was wondering if any owner/operators actually went that route, as I am thinking of re-configuring my listening room so that I can use shorter speaker cables, and placing the preamp on its power supply might make that transition easier. The reason I am asking, however, is that I have noted that the power supply gets really hot after a couple of hours or so of listening, and I am not feeling real great about having the preamp right on top of it. Therefore I was just wondering what the experiences of others has been.

Thanks for the feed back on that, @hk_fan . Does your power supply get pretty hot like mine does? |
You might want to call and ask Cary Audio directly what has been learned since the publishing of the last operating manual version. Ask the warranty-repair decision maker person there these days - and not a general sales person. I've had to deal with other components where the operators manuals needed clarification, updating. What does #8 really mean below and is "stacking" acceptable or not. SLP-05 Cary Owners Manual, Page 2, reads: 7. HEAT: Position the unit away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other units (including amplifiers) that produce heat. 8. VENTILATION: Slots and openings in the cabinet create ventilation to protect the component from overheating. These openings on the top and bottom panels must remain unobstructed. Allow at least 6 inches (16cm) of clearance above the unit and an opening behind the unit for airflow. Do not place the unit on a bed, sofa, rug, built-in bookcase, or rack without adequate ventilation. https://www.caryaudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/SLP-05_manual.pdf
