right angle RCA adapters: will they harm sound?

Ozzy has a good point about the metalurgy discontinuities. I previously used Audioquest adapters in another system, I never heard any degradation in sound. I am presently using Cardas XLR/RCA adapters in some locations in my present rig, hear no degradation. In the case of the Cardas adapters I'm using those with Cardas cables, thus, no metalurgy issues. I guess you'll just have to try for yourself, I would try to get an exact metalurgy match, adapters made by the same manufacturer as your cables would be even better. Call your cable manufacturer and see if he can make some up for you.

It is one of those thing that if I tell you it is there, you will think it does change the sound; if I don't tell you, you will never notice it is there.

The response you will get is that people who use adapters do not notice a difference.
Is that what you wanted to hear?

I used Audioquest right angle adapters connected to the XLR adapters for a Music Reference RM-200 to allow better dressing of the cables. I listened with and without the right angle adapters and could here no difference in the sound.

Thanks everyone. very helpful.
