Is it bad to stack your equipment


Is it really bad to stack components on top of each other. I keep getting more and more multi box components like a DAC/CD and preamps that have clean/dirty box configurations. High end racks cost so much money it would seem I could save a lot of money by stacking some equipment.

Elizabeths problem is why I had to build my own...

Went from a 5 high to a double wide 4 high... (and still have my headphone amplifier elsewhere in the room).

(setup is different than the picture in my virtual system. TT is now on a timbernation platform & Bow is now on a gingko)
I built a "Salamander" clone rack for about 45. bucks from Home Depot stuff. That threaded rod does cost a few dollars!
Thanks everyone. I guess I better shelf each componet on there own. Without a woodworking shop I am not so good a working with wood. I think I better spend the money on a nice rack or hire a carpenter to build one for me.

Thanks again for all your input !!
