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.

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 !!

Mark,

You can still get someone (carpenter, stoneworker, timbernation.com, somebody else) to make the shelves to your spec & assemble the rack yourself.

For the uprights, you would need only threaded rod (hardware store), bolts, washers, etc. This is the basis of the flexy rack & a number of commercial designs as well.

Best of luck,
