    Here is a picture Skip sent me of a WW PC that I'm contemplating. My main concern was/is also flexibility.

    Nice.... Skip you need to use some masking tape when painting around those outlets...:)

    I noticed that too! B) Or a better suggestion...remove one screw, then the plate and paint away! Let it dry a couple of hours and pop the plate back on. Easy-peasy!

    I've heard that CullenCables are quite flexible and close if not better performance wise....

    I've had that debate a couple times myself. My AC-9's are not exactly easy to work around when cable managing....

    I have the Cullen Cable Gold Series on my amp. Been very happy with the performance & construction. Quite flexible to boot.

    I don't worry about the plates. I use an edger. Paint is easy to scrape off. Tape takes a crapton of time. I painted that room, two coats, 20' ceilings and all, in a day. I just haven't gone back to fix it all because there are so many other projects going on, like starting a business. :p

    The Wireworld cables are good, hence their appearance in my product list. Cullen cables are good as well. I can't recommend the Pangea AC-9 cables, but the AC-14SE are great entry level budget cables. I haven't regretted moving from those to the Wireworlds though. Not one bit.

    You wouldn't happen to have a short one laying around that you would be willing to part with... Even if it has paint on it :)

    The easiest thing to do is remove the plates before painting. Just my 2 cents.

    So I replaced the AC-9 with an AC-14 I had as a spare. I think will keep the AC-9 in my car for protection... It can do more damage than a 5 D cell maglite.

    I will revisit the decision for the best fit for my rig next weekend. Thanks for all the suggestions.

    That's the ONLY way to do it...

    I'm the son of a high end contractor. Paint on a receptacle or wall switch, massive sign of someone that does not pay attention to detail. Not where you want to be brother!

    Like it or not, people pay attention to that stuff.
