Heavy power cord

First of all I'd like to personally thank all the members who participated in this thread and all the suggestions....
Yesterday evening I was contacted by the power cord manufacturer, he said there were others who had the same problem and his solution was quite simple...I was told to wrap a layer of electrical tape around the connector, this would snug the fitting tight "problem solved ".....
Happy Again!
BTW 
To answer (cesoj) ,question..
The sub's plugged into a  Pangea Audio Quattro Power Center....
I added isolation feet to de couple from hardwood floors and the addition of the power cord, gives me a tighter/cleaner bass response ...

The problem with electrical tape' is the garbage adhesive usually used. So the tape sticky part turns all gooey after a few years.

I know what you mean and if that's what happens to you, then you are using the product incorrectly. Electrical tape is meant to be tightly stretched against itself. When used that way, that gooey adhesive fuses with the tape, creating a very tight, sealed connection.

Electrical tape is great for sealing exposed electrical connections. For anything else, it's next to worthless.

elizabeth,

Great suggestion on the teflon tape, I am going to be making use of that.

I stopped using electrical tape for almost anything but temporary fixes years ago. I use self-fusing silicone tape where I would have used electrical tape in the past. It has no glue. When you pull the silicone tight against itself, it self bonds to a point that it is usually easier to cut-off then try to unravel (if at all possible).

To the op, depending on the IC socket, sometimes you can loosen the screws holding it in place and put string around them, tighten the screws, then use the string to hold the plug in place.
