cool thanks for the input, much appreciated pretty much the same response as the guy who advised/sold/installed my system... don't think I've ever had a sales guy advise me NOT to spend $ or buy more equipment heh.
said there would be an improvement, but probably not overly noticeable, certainly not $4k worth of sound improvement... was rather impressed with his honesty. as for the positions of the equipment, it's a small cabinet, with the denon on the bottom left & dvd sitting on top of it (neither get very hot, slightly warm at best, even after hours of thrashing my system), & on the right bottom is the rotel, TP on top of it, and Beyonwiz on top of that... the rotel gets a bit warm, but not overly hot, the TP absolutely cooks, which I find rather odd compared to the rest of the components, and the Beyonwiz gets a bit hot but only at the back where the hard drive is located, so maybe that's what's causing the TP to overheat, more so than the rotel? have considered putting some fans in there, that's my next step... order in some black ravioli to give a bit of space in between the rotel & beyonwiz, then see if I can mount some fans to the side of the cabinet & get a bit of airflow through there.... there's glass doors on the front of the cabinet, which I had custom made with three large cutouts to allow airflow, so the cabinet's not totally enclosed are there any sort of room treatments one could make, without changing the look of my lounge room though?... it's very clean & minimal with a few bits of art around the place, which is the way I like it :p -- FARQ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ FARQ's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33718 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70132 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
