Very possibly! Most heatsinks are aligned assuming a certain orientation, since heat rises. Heatsinks can be found an any kind of audio equipment as they are used with regulators as well as of course power transistors.
Vertical component placement?
It seems as though rather than the previous standard 17-19” components, there are more and more small boxes in hi-fi these days. Perhaps, it’s just a product of audiophile OCD, but I find stacking equipment directly on top of each other an anathema. It occurred to me that if placed these small boxes vertically on their sides, I could maximize available shelf space. Would there be a down side (pardon the pun) to equipment, as pertains to ventilation, circuit board component integrity, or anything else for that matter in doing so ?
