Hey all,
So, some background. My current setup is all spread across a large oak dresser’s top, so there’s pretty much limitless ventilation for my amp. However, I’m going to be moving out of my parents’ house to my first apartment in the near future, and the dresser won’t be coming with me. Given limited space, I think some kind of rack system would be a great help. That brings me to my question:
Do most rack units, in y’all’s experience, provide enough clearance for a tube amp’s ventilation? To be clear—my amp would be on a lower, enclosed by a top and bottom shelf, because my turntable needs the top space to be useable.
Of course, I know this will vary unit to unit, amp to amp, but I’m just looking for a general idea.
Maybe, a better question—how much clearance does a tube amp generally need? A wide margin? Not much?
In fact, please throw some suggestions for units my way. My budget—I should be clear—is somewhere in the $100-200 range.
Thanks!
