G+_Bradley Bishop Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 It looks to me like more space is needed between the devices for cooling purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Daniel Armstrong Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Yep, putting other components above a receiver or power amplifier is a huge no-no. That Blu-ray Disc player is going to cook to death up there. I have heard it said that every 10ºC increase halves the life of electronics, especially the electrolytic capacitors.

G+_Bradley Bishop Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Something that works really well to separate components are wire racks for kitchen cabinets. You can get them in the right size for components and they're cheap. They also allow for plenty of air flow. You can get them at Home Depot or Bed, Bath, & Beyond or other like places. Pick up a can of black paint to make them match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
