Need a heavy duty receptacle


What AC wall receptacle are you using to plug your heavy AC power cords in. My power cords keep backing out from the weight.

I know I'm not the only audiofool around who uses some kind of device to suspend cables off the floor, and I'm surprised no one has mentioned them. My cable lifters are plastic-conduit couplers. The smaller ones are c. 2-9/16" high by 2-5/8" diameter; the larger ones are 3-1/2" h. by 3-1/4" d. Seems to me they were just under $1 and less than $2 at Lowe's. Painted them sand color.

My powercables NEVER creep out of my duplex outlets.

I too use tie wraps to support cables but I use them on everything. RCA, XLR, AC cables and anything else that might cause stress on the device it's plugged into.
Supporting or suspending the cable is especially important if the
component is mounted on certain types of vibration isolation devices as the
cable shouldn't be allowed to exert a force in any direction as that would
interfere with the balance and proper operation of the Isolating device. In
some cases, suspending the cable from the ceiling is a viable method and
kills two birds with one stone.
I hear you, Albert. I also use zip ties on nearly everything. The back of my power conditioner looks like this.

All work and no play...
