question for SLP05 owners:

Back when the SLP05 first came out, the (separate)  power supply was designed so that the actual preamp part of the SLP 05could sit on top of the power supply.  I was wondering if any owner/operators actually went that route, as I am thinking of re-configuring my listening room so that I can use shorter speaker cables, and placing the preamp on its power supply might make that transition easier.  The reason I am asking, however, is that I have noted that the power supply gets really hot after a couple of hours or so of listening, and I am not feeling real great about having the preamp right on top of it.  Therefore I was just wondering what the experiences of others has been.
