If you invest significant dollars in components because you think it's a good thing if one wants great sound, how on earth could you, or anyone, contemplate stacking them like pancakes? Do the right thing ... buy or make your own rack to hold equipment that either cost significant dollars or that you value for their performance. Too, a good rack adds to the overall listening/aesthetic pleasure. These things really do matter, don't you think? In my case, the Sanus Euro-rack works/looks just fine! Not that expensive, actually, and easily adjustable to meet changing needs. Go for it!
Is it bad to stack your equipment
Is it really bad to stack components on top of each other. I keep getting more and more multi box components like a DAC/CD and preamps that have clean/dirty box configurations. High end racks cost so much money it would seem I could save a lot of money by stacking some equipment.
