I bought several of these cables to deal with rackmount units which were so deep that ordinary cables would end up hitting the wall at the back of the rack. Right-angled cables to the rescue! These are serious, high-quality cables and I'm only using them on a few of my more serious bits of kit, but they're worth it in terms of both sound quality and reliability. Absolutely no problems, and a very transparent sound. Thoroughly recommended if the price is within budget.
