How Do You Stack Your Equipment?

In the next month I'll finally have all my equipment, and will be ready to put the components on a Sistrum 6 shelf rack. The equipment which will be on the rack includes a tube amp, tube pre-amp, SACD player, DAC tube unit, tuner, Linn turntable, and a Monster Power Center. Obviously that's 7 items for 6 shelves. I intend to put the tt on the top shelf, but how would you setup the individual pieces on this rack from the floor up or does it even matter in what order they are stacked? What might you leave off to the side as I can't fit everything on one rack?

I will be doing pretty much the same thing. It cannot be good to have hot tube or other amps located below CD players, DAC's and TT's (heat rises).

I decided to place my tube amps/preamp above the rack on separate wall shelves. I'll use the rack for the TT, CD player, phono preamps and power conditioners (conditioners on the bottom shelf).
