Equipment: To Hide or not to Hide

I am lost between hiding my equipment into a side room or keep it in the open on racks. I know that this is a personal matter. I enjoy looking at my equipment while listening to music. Looking into all the photos of virtual systems make me want to keep them in the open. I am interested in knowing from both camps about their experiences.

thanks

I swifter dust it weekly and detail it as needed.

I like my equipment in a armoire, except for the speakers, of course. The added advantage of the armoire is the isolation of the turntable from airborne vibration, which can be significant.

Look at my Virtual System for an idea of how it looks. My system is in a multipurpose room, so WAF needed to be high. Still, when I get a dedicated room I'll keep the armoire, at least for the turntable.

Remotes are no problem at all. There are very discreet relays that receive the signal outside the armoire and transfer them into the components inside. Any installer will have them.

Thank you so much guys for all your input. I am leaning more towards keeping things out in the open.
