Short runs of flexible power cord?

I just spent $ 200 (mostly for shipping) to have my Jolida 302B repaired: the IEC was damaged due to the torque from the heavy Transparent power cord. It's admittedly too long but also incredibly stiff. I could really use some help here. Are there companies that make flexible power cables in shorter (less than 1 M) runs, that sound good??????

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

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.

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!

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.
