Right Angle Adapters

Okay, I just got my AQ Thunder Power cords today. Though they perform admirably, even at initial install, I am a bit unnerved by just how stiff and unyielding they are. I contacted AQ to ask about using a right angle adapter and was told by a gentleman with a British accent, that sound degradation would be minimal if I used one with continuous metal (ie. no cords).
Can anyone here recommend a good brand. 
I see Voodoo cable offers some, but at near $100, I think there must be some less expensive options.

Thanks Al.
As always,  you provide great information.
From what I see, the 90 degree angle is either up or down. I was hoping to get something that went right or left, but I think I will give them a try nonetheless.

Thanks for the reply, and, yes, I agree with your assessment.
I ordered both the AQ and Voodoo adapters and will give them a try.
Hey, I just spent over $1K on these Power Cords, so what is another hundred or so?
I am a bit bummed by the fact that these companies put out a product that performs well, but doesn't work in real world conditions. The guy at AQ noted my concerns, but I doubt they will be taken seriously.
If I had some more time and money, I would design these things. Considering how some people are buying tuning bowls and tachyon field generators for sound reproduction, I think offering a solution to stiff power cable connecting might just be my retirement fund.
