IEC Retaining Kits


This is for IEC connector users for powercords.....personally i dislike IEC connectors, especially when connecting to the heavier cords. Gravity & horizontal forces of Evil tend to dislodge or near breaking contact from the equipment plug side, possibly contributing EMI/RFI noise, i suspect. All too frequently need to tweedle and check the back connection. Do you have this same problem? If you do, fear not there is a professional solution available :) Replacement (rewireable free type) IEC sockets made by Bulgin or equivalent do make fabulous stainless steel Retaining Kits and flanges which designed to be installed to the equipment inlet plug. This is my own experience with Bulgin brand IEC conn. The retainer kit has a specific catalog no. to mate with the particular free socket fitted to the powercord. All my Bulgin IEC connections that i have replaced are now secured by such kits. This by far, is one of my most visually and electrically satifying tweak. They are extremely inexpensive. Do check up Bulgin or others. I can now sit back and really enjoy the music, rest assured these forces of evil don't mess up my 'cord connection ever again. :) MHO that High end audio equipment designers must do away with this mass market conn. and come together and agree on a common Military type connection system which are self-secured by screwed cap retainers on assembly. Price is no object to audiophiles on this very important issue IMHO. Phil.

Holy crud can you say SPAM? If that's not an advertisment I don't know what is!
Iceraven, I got the same problem. Do you have more info as to where I can find these IEC conn.
Spamaway Iceraven, I have the same problem and external supports have a tendancy to negate isolation products. I am a born rigger but if the price is right always prefer to have someone else design and build the rig.
