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 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...

Very useful information here. Never really thought about supporting the heavy cables from stressing the components or the isolation platforms. I'll get to work on this. Thanks guys.
