Hi,

Can anyone tell me what minimum depth i need behind my amplifier to bend the Sigma NR V2 Power Cord in my cabinet?

Thanks!

8 inches.

Thank you for your quick reply. 8 inches is more than i thought, i only have about 6 inches of space. Is the space needed for the Alpha nr less than the Sigma?

8 inches is a pretty tight curve, I'm surprised it can do that. Why can't you pull your gear another 3 inches further away from the wall?

Unfortunately this is not possible. The cabinet is floor to ceiling and fixed to the back wall. Do you have crystal power cables? If so, how are they in flexibility?

No Crystal PC. I use Crystal interconnects and speaker cables. I would like to eventually buy Alpha v2 PC but they are the last item I would upgrade. Everything else comes first.

The new NR and XC PCs are quite flexible.

Yes, but the plugs are longer than most and will not bend.

Yes, that's correct. The NR plugs contain the noise reduction componentry and are also made of real carbon fibre to attenuate the impact of vibration. They're also potted internally for durability.
