    Stacking Rotel equipment

    Has anyone stacked a Rotel CDP directly on top of a Rotel amp? I ask because I just dropped over $200 on some Cardas interconnects at 0.5 meters and they barely reach between my RCD-1072 and RA-1062 because of my rack. I am probably going to end up exchanging the interconnects for a larger size but that will cost almost another hundred bucks.

    I am thinking about just putting my CDP directly on top of the amp but I am worried about overheating. My room is fairly cool and the amp is barely warm to the touch after about an hour of listening to a CD. It's never hot or very warm. Would I be okay?

    I am just trying to save myself the hassle of dishing out more cash for longer cables. :cry:

    Play it safe... put the amp on top of the CD player, it's a sturdy enough box and the amp isn't that heavy anyway.

    I've cooked a DVD player in the past by stacking on top of an amp.

      My local dealer had a couple of Classe CAM 350 monoblocks for sale and was kind enough to allow me to home trial. The only reason I trialed them was the loyal Classe following in this forum. Many of you maintain that Classe and B&W are an excellent match. I have also seen a few posts elsewhere saying...

      I got the newly finished sub in the house last night and even though I didn't corner...

      by Woo Wooooo
      You guys see any problem stacking the 1050 DVD on top of the RSP-1098.
      Does the 1098 generate enough heat to hurt the DVD over time. :M My enclosure is fan cooled.... : Option 2 I can stack the 2 amps the RMB-1075 and the RB-1070 on top of it. what is the lesser of the two evils :twisted:...
