Hi All,

New to the club and excitedly waiting to receive my Decware amps (SE34UFO25, CHP325, ZP3) at some point in the distant future. In the meantime I want to reconfigure my rack so that the new components fit since they are quite a bit taller than the current ones. Rack is built from maple butcherblock and open on all 4 sides. Question: How much space is ideal to have between the top of the tubes and the wood shelf above the tubes for the CHP3 and ZP3? Current phono and tube pre stay fairly cool and the shelf above does not get hot with a 1" gap. Power amp sits on top since that one generates a fair amount of heat. I have room to put 2 amps on the top shelf if needed. Any advice much appreciated!

Many thanks, looks like I should be good with 2" of breathing room above.
