Lousy IEC Connections

I use SonarQuest Silver plated on Copper from eBay (other plating materials available).

They have superior clamping (like a vice) and the "arms" that clamp the pins in the IEC Chassis socket are noticeably thicker than other plugs

I've tried many brands, but these are clearly the best available

Two issues with my pretty heavy Shunyata PCs. 1. They can pull up lighter components.
2. The wall connection needs a cable riser to keep it from pulling out.

They all need cable risers.

They all need cable risers.


The power cable to my amplifier doesn't need cable risers, it goes straight from the wall to the IEC connector on my amp without even touching the floor. 

I appreciate all of the help and suggestions.  Personally, I would like to see the component & cable manufacturers move to a locking IEC

I know not the sole solution, but the direction in general I would like to see.
