Tube amps covers on or off


I just brought myself a new onix sp3. Unfortunately I have to put it at the bottom of my glass rack. This little beast runs a little hot and I am a little afraid that the temper glass may crack eventually with the heat. Is this a stupid concern? If I leave the covers off will the unit run cooler overall?

anything which might vibrate would be better off removed, regardless of the component. i remov the cover from a cd player and preamp. i use forceed air periodically, to remove dust.

i also use foam and other small anti resonant materials on top of capacitors, resistors and power supplies, when appropriate.
