Can you stack a turntable on an amplifier?

Is it bad to have speakers next to turntable?

BAD VIBRATIONS If you put speakers near to or on the same shelf as your record player the vibration of the speakers will undermine the record player’s ability to do its job well. So try to put your turntable on something small that’s not close to the speakers, and likewise put your speakers on stands or wall brackets.

Can you put an amplifier on top of a speaker?

You should be fine. As long as either one of your subs is large enough to physically accommodate the amp properly. The weight damping on the Sub from the amp should minimize any large or even micro vibration effects on either unit’s electronics.

How much space do you need around an amplifier?

Although there’s no definitive specification, we recommend a minimum of 5 inches of ventilation space on top and 2 inches on either side of the receiver/amplifier to reduce the risk of the amplifier overheating and tripping the Protection Circuit when playing at moderate to high volume output levels.

How far away should turntable be from speakers?

Speaking of a listening triangle, you should also make sure that your speakers are far enough apart to benefit from the stereo effect, if possible, by at least two metres.

What level should a turntable be?

If your plinth or chassis is level and the platter isn’t, you will need to level the platter using the suspension of the turntable. Turntables are sensitive to the outside world.

Do you need to ground a turntable?

Can you put a turntable on top of a subwoofer?

The unit on top will get cooked, and the ventilation for the tubes may be limited. One thing that can help is if you can put spacers two inches thick between them (3 or 4 wood cubes perhaps). A turntable should never be put on top of another component, because hum and other vibration can be picked up by the cartridge.

Can I put my turntable on top of my preamp?

As long as it doesn’t block any ventilation holes in the receiver. I keep my tt on top of my preamp (fits perfectly; no ventilation holes). Works fine. Mechanical vibrations from the turntable are transferred to the receiver casing. How much impact that has is any one’s guess. I would be most concerned about heat from the receiver.
