Placement of components in audio rack

I currently have from bottom to top, on individual shelves in an open rack stand: amp, pre-amp, CD recorder, CD player, turntable on top. This is probably a pretty normal set up, but wondering if anyone has messed around with the order and found any significant improvement? Also, I plan on adding a tuner to the mix. My past experience has been to put the tuner away from all other components for best signal; like in another part of the room with long interconnects. Thoughts?

I isolate the digital from the analogue to avoid EMI/RFI contamination. I also like to keep equipment with large power transformers away from more sensitive equipment.

Power amps on the floor between the speakers. CD and DAC players on a separate rack. Pre-amp, phono pre-amp and turntable on a separate rack.
