VAC Signature 2a Preamp Question

Gentlemen,
Two issues with moving the power supply out of the rack: first, it looks so darn cool to have all four VAC logos lit up at night while tubes are glowing... (See rack photo on my system page). So, now that I've outed myself as one who cares about the esthetics of my system, not just the sound... Here's the real issue: I have nowhere to hide the PS, unless I stand it on its side between the rack and the couch, something I don't want to do to this beautiful component. No other place is available, and the amps are too heavy to go to higher shelves, so I think for now, if it's indeed a proximity issue, I'll just have hum along with the hum... Thanks everyone for trying to help!

You're right, it really does look cool, that's one of the things I like about my Phi 200 as well. I know it's not as aesthetically pleasing, but could you move one of the amps down off the rack and put it on a lower platform in front of the rack, then put the power supply on the bottom shelf? Otherwise, maybe get a high output cartridge? :^)

Just take the amps the hell out from the rack and pur PS on the lowest shelf.
You have a beautiful system, but I'm sorry to say, but it is a rack update time for you

I have nowhere to hide the PS, unless I stand it on its side between the rack and the couch, something I don't want to do to this beautiful component.

That's probably a non-starter for technical reasons as well, at least without an ok from Kevin. It would cause the heat generated within the PS to concentrate at unintended internal locations, very conceivably resulting in premature failure.

Huh, I turn the VAC logo off on my Sigma 160i. I find it a bit ostentatious.
Different strokes for different folks I suppose. Hum away!!

Wait...can't the amps go on separate amp stands by each speaker?
