Sagging power plugs in wall outlet, diy

@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 🤔

@tksteingraber  Good points all.  I almost want to order a plug to see how it works.

For loose power plugs going into components you wrap the connector with a couple wraps of Teflon tape (plumbers tape).  Just the plastic part.  Problem solved.

@goose excellent suggestion and will give it a try.👍
