component order on a rack?


Alright I want to make sure I am not overlooking what is the obvious to so many others, but is there a "best" order for placing audio separates on a rack. I have five shelves. It is a Michael Greene rack I recently got used. I was planning on putting my turnatble on top, tuner next, cd player, preamp, amplifier. Is this the best? I trying to do things right so any advise would be helpful.

The only things I would add are I don't think you'll mind the CD player over the preamp, but I suggest turning it and the tuner off when listening to your turntable to minimize the digital noise, and watch out with the preamp being right over the transformer in the power amp, that could cause you some hum problems in the phono stage, depending on how sensitive it is and how much gain it has (for example, I once had a Vendetta phono stage that I had to move away from the shelf above my JPL line stage because of the transformer in the line stage causing very noticable hum).
