Msb s500 height

hi everyone

i have sgr audio rack and i want to replace my msb m205 mono’s with the s500 amp.

the problem is that the 500 too high to put on the bottom shelf and i don’t have a place for a single amp stand.

is it acceptable to put on the top of the rack.

thank you

The only concern I have is the Cascade DAC generates much more heat than the 500 does, I am not sure what DAC you have but the Cascade runs hot and likes to have a LOT of airflow

yes i have the cascade in a different rack.

my concern is whether it will hold it with no problem and will look nice .

what model of the SGR and only you can say if you like the esthetics, personally I am not a huge fan of giant objects at eye level as they become dominant. can you move components around?

Ofer,

If you haven’t reached out to Stuart at SGR, I would recomend it. He has specific shelving that he has made to support the S500. Including a shelf extension. He would at least be a good person to ask as he has worked extensively with MSB gear and making options to support it.

I could make an introduction if you would like, just message me your email address.

hi

the s500 is too expensive to upgrade from the m205 so i’m going to look for a different brand.

i don’t know yet which brand and i’m waiting for some prices.

in the meantime i’m waiting for my new marten mingus quintet 2 se.

thank you
