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.

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).

Ok. Now that we got the wall plug solution….How do we fix the loose component plug that drops off due to heavy plugs/cables?  This is a bigger problem here.

@tksteingraber Well the 90 degree IEC socket is also potentially a fix here, since that reduces leverage.  For my Luxman, which originally had a 2 prong socket I swapped it for a 3-prong which added just enough grip.

There are also locking IEC plugs.

@erik_squires Thanks…I was thinking the same about the 90 degree plug as the solution.  The locking plugs are interesting but not audiophile quality and only go down to 14 ga.  Also, no explanation and not clear how they actually lock 🤔
