The screws on the bottom of the unit that I assume are used to secure the transformer and circuit boards to the chassis are so big that I cannot mount anything under it without moving a whole rack space down. Did they really expect that no one would rack this thing? This seems like a huge design flaw. Honestly, the screw heads are nearly a quarter inch high! I guess I could remove them and put in some countersunk screws but I'm not sure if I could as the steel the chassis is constructed of seems quite thin. Has this happened to anyone else or do I have some special stand-alone version?
I agree, I even managed to scratch up another piece of equipment with it Luckily it sounds great
