Right angle XLR adapter


I just purchased a new amplifier that is longer than my previous amplifier and now extends beyond the shelf in my hifi cabinet very close to the back wall. When I include the additional space necessary for the two XLR interconnects the space is very cramped. Is there a manufacturer that makes a quality right angle XLR adaptor where I can connect my XLR cables and gain an additional one to one and a half inches of space? I am using Nordost cables and want a quality adaptor that will not detract from the sound quality.

Thank you.

I know people are much more into aesthetics than I am, I'm a form follows function guy.  My rack is wide open both for cooling and flexibility.  I designed it myself and had it fabbed in a weld shop.  It doesn't look nearly as bad as most are imaging now.  Painted black, it mostly disappears.

So my first suggestion is bet a bigger rack.

But I realize i'm the one here that is not normal and so you'll probalby keep the rack.  Gooogle quickly finds lots of options.  But most are cheap and certainly not the high end audiophile quality connectors that many of us use here.  The best quality available, that I could find, which isn't bad, is Neutrik.  

I would not use an adapter but would instead replace the connector with a right angle connector from neutrik.

Best of luck
