right angle RCA adapters: will they harm sound?

I have very tight space requirements. I have some stiffer interconnects that I can only make work if I use right angle RCA adapters (I purchased what seem to be high quality ones made by Audioquest). I cannot do an a/b with and without the adapters. What are people's expereince with how these adapters affect sound quality?

Thanks!

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.
