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 could not find an adapter, only a plug replacement.

If you really can't move your shelf, contact Nordost and see if they'll make custom, or adapt your existing.  Pay careful attention to the direction of your plug, and where the center pin points to, and make sure you have clearance in the direction you need the adapter / plug to turn.

That's a very good point Erik. Thank you.

If all else fails, there’s a bunch of XLR right angles and short cords on Amazon.

All the best.

Or, bite the bullet and move the rack.
