Yes I did think about the fact that it could rest on the connect and agree that it would probably work 80% of the time. Its making it 100% reliable that is key.

100% of the time with tape in place.  I also just e-mailed Ed @ Kindcables to see if he might work on a right angle, locking solution for us.  I will post when I hear back from him.

Okay, that's what I though, Eric.  If only I had better mental diligence, I wouldn't have had to hack my connector!  lol  I'll still post pics though in case anyone's interested...

Why not eliminate one of the AES connectors and replace it w/ an xlr 4 pin power connector?  Maybe Grace can do this as a mod?

I wish it had an XLR power cable like the V2, and your idea is certainly an option, but probably more hassle/$$$ than it's worth when it's pretty easy to hack the locking connector or rig a non-locking connector.  I may send mine off for the optical ouput mod if they start offering it, though.

i spoke to Jamie about that. he said that the AES would not be mod'd for an XLR power in bc they want that for high-bit output and also, they considered XLR power bc that is how the V2 is and they didnt have room. they also said that when the future mods come out, they have to put them somewhere, and it has to do with the inside of the box, the cards n stuff, as much, if not more, than the outside locations. he said that a right angle connector for the current DC power port isnt really a current concern for them. fwiw. and i am paraphasing from our earlier conversation

it doesn't surprise me that they don't care about the right angle deal.  besides i think most of us bought the eco-charge connector, so maybe we can talk to those guys about making one.  i'm not sure if y'all's experience with eco-charge has been the same but everytime i call eco-charge, i get a lot of attitude from the guy.  when i got my v3 i was thinking about getting the 12v version since i have a d10 and it might've made sense to have two 12v devices for powering options.  he said, "what the hell do you want a 12v v3 for?"  thanks, helpful.  in the end, i decided on the 6v version, but i bought it from masterpiece and not them.  plus, i've actually gotten better prices on eco-charge stuff from other dealers than the price they quote me.

I never tried Ed at KK because according to the people at Ecocharge (who I'm becoming more and more convinced are total dickwads), there is no other connector that may be reliably used other than the switchcraft model due to the port's construction.  the guy was a total ass about it on the phone.  anyways, i'm not sure what i'm gonna do, i have hacked up my old cable yet and i've stopped using right angle xlr's so that not all of the weight of the box and strain ends up on the power connector alone.

I never heard back from Kind Kables - Ed is usually pretty good about returning calls or e-mails unless he is out at shows.  Maybe someone can try Pro Dig and see if he could make a custome one?  He made custom battery cables for my V2 and AD2K a couple of years ago.

I would be very interested in something like this. Thanks for stepping up, Mike!


Now to this quote.....

Sorry to bring this back up (I just read it), but I feel the same way you do. That guy at eco charge is a total DICK! I had a conversation with him a while back and it came to the point where we were literally talking shit to each other. His got major attitude issues! I felt like reaching through the phone and punching him in the face! Sorry yall, but I had to vent. I've been holding that on in for a while now.
