A Diamond In The Rough-Snake River Audio

Hello and good evening to you, gentlemen. I just went back to the rig and tested the bend radius of the Takshaka PC. Surprisingly, even though they are about an inch or so thick, the bend radius to go a complete 180 degrees is only about 4". I'd say that is extremely flexible.

Here is a shot I just took with one of my Takshaka PC's going into the Lumin UX1. This is a completely natural curvature of the cable. For reference, the length of the barrel is sitting out just shy of 2 and a half inches from the power supply. The custom Sorbothane riser is there just for support. It's not needed, as there is a secure fitment, it's just at this height and with the weight of the cable itself, I installed it for my own reassurances. The actual cable you see here, drops down a good 3 feet until it hits the riser at the floor and as mentioned, with the sheer weight of the cable and with the length of that drop? I just wanted some reassurances that all would be well for years to come.

So, you are looking at about 4.5" of support from the PS, with a naturally occurring bend after 2 or three months of use, that heads straight down about 3 feet. For a triple shielded cable? Nice.

4" for 180 degrees ??? Wow, looks more like 90 degrees to me ?
 
Hello, @twitch. Please accept my apologies for any confusion. The photo shows basically a 90 degree turn, naturally caused by the drop in height. Separately, you can bend the PC 180 degrees within a 4 inch span (no photo taken). Basically, it is extremely flexible.
