Loose fitting power cord

The power cord (Morrow) to my amp is loose fitting. It keeps falling out with the slightest movement.
Two questions.
Will that affect the ultimate SQ?
Is there any way to fix the problem short of getting a new cord?

I used a Velcro strap to suspend it hammock style from above.

Multi thousand dollar components and cords and they can't stay plugged together....mind boggling!

You can get an aftermarket iec plug from Furutech, Iego, Neotech or Oyaide and solve the issue.
