Is Carpet OK?

I'm new to high end audio. This is a true neophyte question.

Does it matter if I place my system I am purchasing on carpet? I mean
on the rack but in a carpeted room.

Thank you,

Darryl

It shouldn't be a problem at all. You might need to use spiked feet for the
sake of stability.

You should be OK, so long as the air vents of the components aren't
blocked (which might happen if you sat a hefty amp down
directly on a shag carpet).

Having a carpeted floor is generally a good idea in a listening room,
since it ameliorates strong reflections from the floor.

Thank you all. The ideal place for my new setup is in a carpeted room
in my home. I'm glad to learn from you that this is good for the
sound.

Also, thanks to the Moderators of this newsgroup.
