@rodman99999: Love the chrome! EAR-Yoshino also builds their electronics with lots of chrome. Their 868L pre-amp and CD player have chrome faceplates, many of their power amps chrome transformer covers and tube cages. Fancy schmancy ;-) .
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

Right @rodman99999, but those tubes are not mounted on circuit boards inside an amp enclosure, where the heat would flow past circuit components. The Wavestream V8 is one cool (no pun intended ;-) looking amplifier! So is the Atma-Sphere M60. |
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. |
