I haven't really found any right angle RCA jacks that aren't premade and then you connect regular patch cables to. If I could find some with solder tabs in them I'd be inclined to build a few sets for my gear with top mounted RCA jacks, most of my stuff has the typical rear exit connectors.

@Granger, I like the cup hooks idea I'll bet that works really well too.

I know Switchcraft still supply R/angle RCA's as do Audioquest (link) the Switchcraft are quite poor quality but I've not seen the Audioquest in the flesh.

Paul, I appreciate it but those are plugs, I was thinking jacks since I don't want to rewire my cables.

Actually my situation is OK for the inputs to be vertical since they come in from the back of the cabinet above my FP 2.  My outputs would benefit from being horizontal because my amps are in front of my FP 2.

How come the best sounding capacitors usually tend to be the biggest, makes getting it all back in the case tricky.

It was not always so. I'm sure I'm not the only one to mourn the passing of Black Gates. These were generally rather smaller than their film counterparts.

I unsuccessfully tried to get some BGs for my ParaSEX amps last year but they were rarer than an honest politician.
 
Great Work!! I really like the ZSP-1 in your album too.

Grainger,
I know these aren't direct solder but they are decent quality:

With some unique building, you may be able to incorporate the PCB mount Cardas RCAs:

...probably more trouble than it's worth though ;)
 
The 90 degree adapter looks pretty robust.  I'll have to consider them.  I have a one in two out set of those from my Creek remote volume control.  They feed my sub and Paramours.
 
Hey HF9 thanks for the good info, those Audioquest 90's look pretty stout. The ZSP1 was an adventure in frustration for a while but it sounds really nice :)
 
I think we have a batch of right angle adapters somewhere. They are not Audioquest, but they work pretty well. I'll see if I can find them.
 
If Doc can't find his 90s, I can vouch for the quality of the Audioquests... they are very heavy, super construction both ends (M & F).  Bought them on Amazon for $5 each... I have 4 of them.
 
Ok, I swiped my wife's camera and uploaded some better pictures of my Crack. http://www.flickr.com/photos/28861421@N02/

Any luck finding those connectors Doc?
