Short runs of flexible power cord?

Ziggy333a,

Please let me know if you plan on selling the Krakatoa power cord in shorter length....

Thanks

I use Acoustic Zen PC's which for their thickness are pretty flexible. I have a couple 2 foot in length Krakatoa's made shorter by AZ. Plus they sound Great.
Actually I will be selling one of the shorter ones soon.

Check out these that secure to the component chassis and provide strain relief of your cables and iec socket. They work very well and are easy to install in most instances.

try to find some of these. I ordered them many years ago from this company out of Iowa. it looks like they've moved operations overseas now...

ZU birth is super flexible ,angle irrelevant and a known performer

Thanks to all. Due to lack of space in shelf behind unit, I've discovered using a short cord would only compress cord at both ends due to acute angles required for clearance, so my approach will be using flexible cable. Will check recommendations Thanks!

ZU Birth comes to mind. I use one on an Odyssey amp in a tight place and hear no difference from a Harmonic Tech 9 that was on it in another setting.

Your amp has a small power draw. It's not like those big power hungry amps. Maybe try a lighter gauge cord.

Power cords are simple to make and simple to resize. Unless yours has a sophisticated molded end you should be able to cut to size a re-terminate. In less than one meter I doubt you will hear any difference in any cable you buy as long as it meet the specs for current delivery and EMI/RFI rejection.

I choose to use a support as mentioned above by several others,(nylon tether).

I bought two 3' Audience PowerChords on Audiogon during the past year.

Mapleshade has some very flexible power cords. They can custom make a short run as well.

I've been dressing power cords since the day they got big.

I have had to put objects, such as wood boxes, bricks, VPI Bricks and books near the connector to relieve tension at the connection point. I have also attached string to the connector and attached the string to the wall with a screw at the outlet. I have also used Velcro ties to secure the cable to the equipment rack. This works well in rack mounted equipment.
Heavy cords can be a problem.
I do not re-call ever seeing a power cord shorter than 1 meter.

I use a block of wood as a stain relief on my source power cable (it's at the top of the rack). Just cut to fit so that the weight of the cable is on the block and not the IEC. This can leave a small indentation on the cable but a rubber etc. pad can elimante/minimize this. No need to swap cables.
