Good to know, as I'm betting that the KAT500 is not going to weigh nearly as much as the KPA500! Placing it on top of the amp, with three fat RG-8 cables hanging out the back of it would (IMHO) tend to make the tuner susceptible to tipping backwards. Locating it under the K3 is not an option at my location, so an under-amp placement would be nice.

Wayne - any problem with interaction between the two if the tuner is placed under the amp?
