Right Angle Power Cord's


Hi everyone. I've got an ML 380S Pre-amp and it takes a right angle connection type power cord (cord plugs into the center-bottom of the unit). Can any one recommend a after market manufacturer that sells right angle (iec-end) power cords??
Thanks in advance.

I would just get rid of the Levinson as if the engineering of the IEC connector is that bad to hide it under the unit just think what a mess they have made of the rest of it! That probably isn't an option so be advised that all the accessory power cord makers are familiar with the needs of the Levinson and offer right angle cords.....
Your two arguments make no sense whatsoever.......They should make room for the IEC and the shorter signal paths that we hook yards of input and output wire onto?.........Do a search on Audio Asylum as some cords make a significant difference used with this unit.....What makes the Levinson power supply design so good?
A low inductance/high capacitance power cord will do wonders for the Levinson which uses a toroid tranny as I recall......This is due to capacitive coupling between primaries and secondaries on toroids as all the high frequency crap is passed right on through with this tranny design.....Regarding circuit paths vs signal paths your point is well taken and few designs use real wire for signal paths as God and Miss Lily intended.....Costs too much and is tedious to put together a unit this way using small circuit boards and lots of real wire.....Some old timers still build things this way :-)
Schurter makes two right angle IECs, but just one of them will fit under the Levinson gear.....Furutech is a good connector with the 15a coming apart like the 20a clamshell most make.....They sure aren't afraid to charge for them is about all I will allow....I like the modified Schurter and P&S myself....
