If you bought them new then just trade them for the straight plugs. Or exchange just one for the straight plug. 2 90 degree plugs will not work in an ac outlet
Not enough outlets
I always plug my Ayre amp and Cambridge Audio streamer/DAC directly into the wall outlets. I have a single duplex outlet behind my equipment rack and since I have just two components, that is enough. However, recently I decide to try better power cables (Audio Envy) than the OEM cables that I was using. Unfortunately those plugs are large enough that if I use the AE power cable for one component, the plug for the second AE cable doesn't fit (there is just not enough room).
So I am contemplating two options:
1. Use the AE cord for my amplifier and just use OEM for my streamer
2. Get some kind of a strip and plug both my amplifier and streamer into it...I understand that many strips can interfere with power delivery so I'm concerned this may affect the dynamics of my system
Thoughts and advice?

@artemus_5 Issue is that the plug needs to go behind a shelf and a straight plug would require me to move the shelf an additional couple of inches into the room which I prefer not to do.
I'm going with a high quality power strip and will report back if that results in a drop in sound quality. |
Well, all well and good....but since we've a 'live/work' situation, the fire marshal (who visits every 2 yrs.) pointed out that best practice is to have hvydty plug strips with an onboard breaker that plugs directly to a wall socket.... Therefore: The nice part is the routine has 'neatened' and makes cable distribution exhibit sense v, 'done enough'. (Nice to have 4x4 boxes on the wall, so I could add a 2nd dbl plug... ;) ..) |
