    Equipment placement

    Hello. I plan on buying a turntable. It would end up taking my cdp spot. With my current audio rack the only option is to put my CD player on top of my pre amp. Is this a bad idea?

    I'm not familiar with that particular preamp, but make sure you have enough space for any heat to escape. You might want to consider some sort of Vibrapods or other similar device to raise the level, as well as isolate it from vibration.

      The pre amp has no heat vents on it if that helps. And are the pods for in between the pre amp and cdp? Or for the TT? Ill be putting the TT on the solid tech feet of silence isolation feet I currently have the cdp on.

        I would think you'll be ok. I have a Rotel RCD-951 stacked on top of an RC-972 preamp and it neither seem to generate any heat.

          I have an RC-1082 and can confirm that it runs cool although that wouldn't stop me giving it an inch of breathing space.
