WORK LOL about the closet thing to work I do at home is bothering the other guys in chat. We call it my office it could also be called a den a man cave or a storage room.
Above the photo is a Pro-Ject 1.2 TT and a Pioneer JT-215A timer
below is a Cambridge audio 540D DVDP I use as a CDP and a Cool little Pioneer CT-40 Cassette deck.
The computer is also tied in
Speakers mounted way up on the wall are HPM-60's
So I've noticed this in a number of photos... and pardon me if this dead horse has been beaten too many times... Lots of you guys have hardware stacked on top of your amps or receivers. I'd always been warned that you need to allow for plenty of air circulation to ensure that you don't overheat your gear.
Obviously, everyone's gear is still running. At least I think it is, so maybe I've just been paranoid for nothing. Nevertheless, if I stack components directly on top of each other, I always make sure I place the amp on top or somewhere where nothing else is on top of it.
What are your thoughts? (if this belongs in another thread, feel free to move it)

some amps have no vents on top or bottom, just front and rear. You can stack on those..
Lost of other amps have vents on top and bottom, and so long as you allow air flow of even a half inch top and bottom, and a few inches front and back you should be fine that way too... Most amps don't get that hot, because most people don't run them hard enough to heat them up enough to worry about stacking.. Heat does kill, but it takes a lot.

My AVR weighs in at 35.3 pounds, which, in my book, qualifies as fairly substantial. While it's a standard width, it's much deeper than any other component I own. So, if I were to stack it, the stack wouldn't last long either, but for different reasons, I think, than skiaddict means.
Nevertheless, I do have my receiver on the second to top shelf of the rack (the turntable is on top - but it's got some protection from the receiver's heat as there's about 3 inches of clear space above the receiver, then, on the turntable's shelf, I have the table on a platform.
I worry more about the stability of a top-heavy gear rack with that receiver up there, but so far so good.
What I guess I really need to do is just use the receiver as the pre-amp and then have some monster amps down on the bottom of the rack to lower its center of gravity. As in, "No, honest honey, these amplifiers are really here to prevent the rack from tipping over."
Then again, that would have my big thermal generators down at the bottom of the pile of gear. Sheesh. I guess I need a new rack.

Only one seat, but it is in the center...
i wish it was an authentic one. No unfortunately its just one of the better replicas.
Is it comfy, Hell yes, but try as many as you can as i found a huge variation between them.
in the front of the room. If you go back a couple of pages you shall see them
yes, well it is usually only myself in the room.
However, when we watch a movie with the family, i have another 2 single seaters i bring into the room
Here are a few pics of my system....
After having spent the better part of thirty years and most of my disposable income on this hobby, I think I've found a system that finally makes me happy...
A mix of recent McIntosh with a few vintage pieces that I just cant live without and make listening to vinyl,FM and tapes much more enjoyable.
The sound is typical,uncolored and alway musical McIntosh...smooth,grain-free yet detailed with plenty of well controlled slam in the bass,when necessary....
The room is my living room which has hardwood floors covered with area rugs and is 20 x 24 x8. My listening position is about 10ft from the speakers.
I've managed to get all the equipment on to shelves of a built in bookcase (using a shoehorn,of course!)I have no problems with EMI or noise with this set-up.

Is that what audio heaven looks like? :ntwrthy: Sweet!
Those look to be Tylers from Kentucky and yes, they're Seas drivers. Very nice speakers. They're regulars at AK Fest. http://www.tyleracoustics.com/
Edit: a simple check of David's signature answers the questions. "Tyler Acoustics Woodmere w/external x-overs". Very nice!
