Sagging power plugs in wall outlet, diy


Does anyone have any diy advice on how to support heavy power plugs that sag from the wall outlet? I have Shunyata cords and I also have Shunyata's SR-Z1 outlet. However the power plugs still sag. Shunyata sells the Cable Cradle, which is the perfect fix, but I feel like there must be some diy alternative.

Well, I wussed out and bought the Sonore. The discount made it worthwhile. I also bought and installed the RACO leveling plate. Wow, my plugs have never had it so good. (I tried to post a photo but I don’t see how to do it. The ’gon link asks for a URL.)

I may still experiment with making my own, for fun and for future applications. There are actually a few outlets around the house that could benefit from this type of plug support. I’m surprised that these types of holders aren’t more common. It seems like something you would find amid the vast array of cable management accessories.

$50.00 is not that bad of a price. It’s not like it’s a mass produced item. Sure beats paying $80.00.

heh-heh, actually, I did buy the two-cup plate. Seemed like if I was going to go half way, might as well go all the way. 

This seems to be a simple fix

See my pictures in my virtual system for the fix I used.  Upgraded the outlet to the Audioquest NRG Edison 20 (big improvement in grasp).  I also went to a foam store to buy some rigit foam and cut it to size to support the cable.  I also have used this to separate interconnect (cut to size).
