Example - can a single module - preamp/comp/whatever - work in a US voltage 500 series rack the same as a UK voltage 500 series rack etc.

500 series racks do all of the AC to DC conversion in the rack itself, so the module would see the same DC voltage from the rack regardless of what the AC input voltage is.

Thanks, you explained that well

Hey so on that patchbay tip: would this be a good project to learn to solder on? Or maybe too complicated?

This will not be a small project since my 32 channel Venice and 16 channel io is going to be the heart of the thing before outboard is even considered.

I would love to not do it but tbh I’d probably put off buying cable just as much as I would put off building cables, but I’d be out less $ with the former.
