i have always been in the old school of stacking by weight and use....being...from top to bottom......
tuner,
cd player
dvd
ofcourse not on top of one another, but if you have too do that, then i have found some cork designed units from mapleshade audio that work very well.
pre amp
dvd controler
direct tv?
amps .
all should be on seperate shelving, but if you can't , i would at least put the players and amp on seperated shelving. i don't know that it makes a difference in sound with everything stacked this way, i think it looks better and is easier to operate, but to me the amp should always be low or low on a stand..it is like when you use floor stands for speakers, sometimes it just helps seperation, clarity, lower and upper range to be more cohesive. i hope this helps , it was fun for me to do, so in saying that,good listening..dwhitt
