Two stacks - which way?

Quote:-

Would I be right in thinking that the power amps and supplies should be on one side with the cd/preamp on the other?

Yes you are right, brains on one stack and brawn on the other and get as much space between them as you can!

NB

The philosophy is keep the transformer boxes away from those without, so it depends on the kit. For eg the 300 and 500 have transformer in one box and amps in the other whereas the 250 and 200 dont.

Stack 1 should therefore have the CDS / Preamp /NAT tuner head units and the amp boxes.

Stack 2 should have the XPS / x-cap / PST / armageddon boxes

Problem is then choosing where to place your turntable and CD player as the head unit rack will sound better (I chose the CDS3 for the head rack as it gets more use)

There is some logic in putting the powered stuff on the right, as the transformers are normally in the right hand side of 250 type cases.

However; in practice, I've found that Burndy's won't reach and seem to hang about right with the pre-amp stuff on the right.

J.N.

It's seems a pity the burndy's are not long enough. For example you end up with the CDS3 neearer to a big humming transformer than it would be if it was 2 "floors" above one on a single stack.
