Good Value & Performance FLEXIBLE Power Cable?

I must wall mount my gear now, due to a wierd floor.
What I NEED is some ideas for good quality power cables that aren't as uncooperative as a pissed off python. No offense intended to any pythons that may be reading this.

I have had good experience with the Audience Cables that I am using now, however I realize that there may be a new kid in town with regard to high performance/low cost power cables, what I must have is a power cable that doesn't need 8" straight out of the IEC recepticle to make a right angle.

Thanks to all who respond.

Thanks again for the help so far

Check DCCA's power cables out. Last year the cables were thick, heavy and unwieldy. This year, Don is making his cables lighter and really flexible such that trying to position the cables is no longer a challenge. His budget power cable, the PowerWave 2, is an extremely good, high quality cable, and they only get better from there.

i'm not an expert on power cables, but for $225 retail (you can get them for less) Dimarzio cables are very well made and flexible as well. i could be imagining this, but i substituted a dimarzio for an early-vintage transparent cord on my preamp, and the sound seemed to get smoother with a top end which was less harsh/bright. check out their web site for
a picture- if you call them they can sell direct or give you the name of a retail outlet that will give you a great deal.
the cheapskate in me bought two more.

Victor @ Audio Horizons is also a very good dealer that will help you find the cord that you need. Their Transparency Power Cord kicks butt!

The latest versions of the Audio Horizons power cords are very flexible, comparatively inexpensive, and deliver excellent performance.
