Man, I really wish great gear was small.
One of the biggest hassles has been forgetting to leave room for connectors. XLR and giant RCA connectors, with stiff cables take up quite a bit. I completely envy the people who can have built in racks with a walk-in closet behind for cabling.
So I have a typical rack, a Salamander and it's 16" deep, however! It works only becuase it's open back. I've had some very deep preamps (Theta Casanova) that could only fit on top. My current preamp the Parasound P7 is 16" from the front of it's volume knob to the back of the ground screw, BUT...add about 5" for the XLR connectors and room to bend.
