RE: Question about tube clearance in shelves.. Agree

I strongly agree with Sony6060's statement that 12AX7s do not dissipate enough heat to worry about. This the case with many other typical pre-amp tubes as well barring the big boys some use.
That said, if you decide to use a big tube pre-amp it could get toasty in there. My answer is ditch the rack! At that point, you have become a real tubophile, and need to treat your tubes with care. An audio rack typically has open sides, front and back. Good luck don't stress over the phono stage.
The amp well that's another story.
