Shunyata makes a very flexible 4 inch cord with male and female IEC connectors. I use it on my VPI Prime because there wasn't room to use my regular Shunyata cord. It worked perfectly and I didn't have to have my cord reterminated. Music Direct sells it for I believe 30.00 and it is made by Shunyata!
HC Power cords for tight spaces -- unicorn hunting?
For starters, I'm a space-challenged apartment-dweller (not the apartment so much, but the shelving for my equipment). I use Shunyata almost exclusively -- Triton v3/DPC-6 v3/Denali 6000S -- and have been very pleased. The Triton, which feeds my amps, has a Sigma NR to the mains and Alpha NRs going to the amps. The problem is that I need to move the PC and I don't have another location with 4-6 inches of room behind it for the cords. I'm planning to call Shunyata to see if they re-terminate with right angle adaptors, but thought I'd see if anyone has suggestions for high-end cords that don't need a mile of run space behind the PC (and experience using them on a Triton would be a bonus). Thanks much.
P.S. I REALLY don't want to use the right angle adaptors if I can avoid it.

I’m pretty much in the same situation as I don’t have much room behind my rack and I hate cable clutter. I spoke to Richard of Shunyata months back regarding retermination options of an Alpha HC pc. Needed to make it shorter and from a 15 amp to a 20 amp. He quoted me around $420 I think, and also said it would be time consuming and just not cost effective for them to do it. Just for you FYI.. |

Thanks for all of the replies. If Shunyata makes the IEC adaptor for 20A (C19), that might do the trick for the mains inlet on the Triton (I've only seen it in 15A). I still have to deal with the wall plug ends on the cords to the amps, though. I'll see if Shunyata is able to terminate with a right angle wall plug, but if not, I may need to find more flexible cords. I remember seeing some well-shielded cords where the last few inches are much thinner than the mid-section, but I can't recall where. I'd prefer to stick w/Shunyata cords on the Triton, but I hate knowing that the amp cords are all being pushed against the back of the cabinet. |
