The power socket can be mounted differently. The enclosure is three inches tall. You may supply your own connectors. A good upgrade would be the use of Speakon's for the PS & Amp. I was also thinking of insulated 5-ways for the output.
An insulated 5-way is what you see on the back of my amplifiers for speakers. They have a black insulated nut that goes over a shaft with a hole in it. They have an industry standard spacing for test equipment leads and can accept probes, banana plugs, bare wire, lugs, etc... The ones I use are rated for 20 Amps DC, low voltage and are gold plated. I an amp here receiving a Mark III upgrade, so I'll take a photo of that.
SEP20 + PS-240 = A wonderful combination.
It could be made the same depth (10") as the amplifier. However, it can not be made shorter. The board takes up about 75% of the space. The other 25% is for everything else. In fact, models that are made to run more than a single tube device will have to be made longer.
Ah- Stacking. It could be done- however, a spacer should be used in between them or I could put rubber feet on the amp or preamp.
I think what Guy13 means is to orient the enclosure so what are now the front and back will become the sides.So the power switch and the on light will be moved to one of the shorter sides and the power inlet to the other short side. In that way it will take up less shelf width.

I see. I like the way it looks too. The best thing that can be done it to make the power supply the same depth as the amp. It can not be made any less wide due to the way these have to be constructed, size of internal components and because the backside sockets need room.
