I’ve got 4 SYN2 units and a KSR 100W power amp and a 1U power conditioner in an 8U rack built into my studio desk. I have 1 space between the synergy and power amp. The SYN2 units get hot, really hot to the touch. Like do hot I can’t touch them. The KSR seems fine but it has plenty of space since there is nothing on the top side of it.

I bought a standalone slanted rack and planning to move the whole setup to it so I can have 1 space between each piece of gear.

What an incredible setup

I always keep power amps at the top of the rack, since there is a bit of space that will allow the heat to dissipate. It'll help preserve your gear for longer.

It shouldn't. Before you know it, someone will be pouring beer on your rack, throwing up on it, or changing the settings.
