I really like the Mapleshade racks. They sound and look great plus the infinite adjustability of the shelves. You just need to buy another shelf. Your tube preamp doesn't require anywhere close to the room you have devoted to it. My VAC preamp doesn't even have ventilation slots in the casework by design. My shelf spacing is fairly tight and I have no tube performance or reliability issues. Just tighten up the spacing a bit and buy another shelf.
component placement
Now looking for advice. My dilemma is that I've run outta space for an area to place my cd player. While normally it would be fine to just buy a shelf and place it on I cannot really take anymore area from around my tube gear for the fear of it overheating. Is it dumb to put the amp on top of the CD? Would the heavyfeet that I use drain vibration from both component's properlly? (I could insantly hear better sound when I had the cd player on a shelf of it's own w/footers) Any other solution or idea is more than welcome. While it would prolly look best on a wall shelf directly above my rack I'm trying other ways.
