Anyone have a supplier for a quality 90 degree RCA adaptor male to male? Found this one but want to know if there is a better quality unit available. This will be used to connect my Sony head unit to the MMATS MD4110 amp. Usning Barrel connector now but want to change to the 90 degree style if possible.
Thanks

Neither those or the barrel connectors are a solid choice. If that is the only route you feel you can go, make sure to shrink tube the pigtails to barrel connectors and a dab of silicone at the amp.

 

Gerby in those instances where I really needed a 90 degree angle because I was short on space I just cut off the plugs of an old RCA patch cable, used a pair of cutters to whittle away all the plastic, and soldered the wires of a patch cable (cut to the length I want) at a right angle onto those plugs. I then coat them with silicone and let it dry for insulation.

That way you only have the one RCA connection that is going into the amp to worry about. If the amp is solidly mounted you usually don't have to worry about that one. It's ugly sure, but I've done it several times and never had one of those connections fail.

 

Hoyt, I would not feel comfortable with my soldering skills to attempt that! I guess I could find a short pigtail instead of an adapter. Anyone know of a 6" or less pigtail that has a right angle male RCA connector on one end and a straight male RCA connector on the other?
Thanks

I understand Gerby. The thing is you keep fooling with this stuff long enough you WILL be able to solder that well
