Re: Problems with Victor 884

I would not stack either type of speed control. The top of the fans on both types need to be free to move the cooling air over the power devices. The size of the Jaguar is a distinct downside to using these devices in comparison. Remember that in all electronics there is a point on the temperature curve where the device just starts to do what it wants. Sometimes to the point of self destruction.
