Just wondering if it really is that harmful to stack the power supplies?... 'cause my setup almost dictates that I do for space reasons. Thanks.

Hi tapesonic,

Welcome to Audiocircle and the RWA forum!

I don't see any problem in stacking our units.  There are no transformers inside, so there is not inductive coupling / interference to be concerned about with batteries. 

Stack away!  8)

Thanks for the reply. I was referring to the external power supplies specifically. I think your instruction manual stated to NOT stack them.

Hi tapesonic,

Are you referring to the external battery chargers?  If yes, then correct, I do not recommend stacking them.  They through out a fair amount of heat, and need their space to breathe.  I also recommend locating them away from the components, interconnects, etc. 

Best regards,
