How much "bend" are in these inteconnects?

I want to upgrade my interconnects for my Music Hall CD-25/NAD T752 setup and unfortunitly in our built-in livingroom wall case where these components are setup there isn't very much room behind them, the cable need to make an almost 90 degree turn up for the receiver to fit in behind the custom made doors. My present Monster cable interconnects just fit and I have to actually push the receiver back with a little force just so there's room for the door to close.. I'm afraid these new cables may not have any give or flexability to do this.. Looking at either the Audio Art Cable Ic-3 High Resolution IC or Mas Solid Silver Interconnects..

There is a solution Virginia!! (no dis intended ;~))

I had to use these myself many years ago: Monster Cable Gold Plated Right Angle RCA adapters!! I have a ton (OK a couple pounds) of them. Tell me how many pairs (L+R) you need and I'll be happy to send you some. Now how's that for putting one's $$ where one's )) is?

Paul, The right angle connectors are gold plated and shouldn't really degrade the sound witn the ICs you are using. I used them with Magnans and couldn't tell any difference with or without. Yes, you are adding another interface, but if they are cleaned and treated with some good contact enhancer, they should be fine. I wouldnt recommend them for use with a coax (RCA) digital cable because the are not 75 ohm and might degrade digital data transfer.

As for the power cord, they do make right angle IEC connectors as well as right angle NEMA wall plugs, so you could have Frank at Signalcable fit the power cords with those where necessary.
