Mitch2 #2 is what I use. A similar alternative is moving the component forward on a shelf so the cord is supported by the length of the shelf behind the component.
Keep light equipment from tipping up from cable weight?
I have some lighter audio equipment that get easily overweighed down by weight of cables plugged into the back of it. What techniques do yall employ to keep lighter weight audio equipment (speaker switchers, VU meters, small DACs) from having their fronts tip upwards do to the weight of cables behind them?
Thank you in advance!

All of the above. Similar problem with a heavy Transparent PC into my Zenith MK3. I have a Herbie’s Tenderfoot underneath the plug to prevent it’s coming loose (the plug also has a few wraps of plumbers tape). It also prevents the Zenith from tipping due to the weight of the power cord Between the pc plug and the Tenderfoot is a metal “cradle” like the top unit from a FURITECH NFT support bout cheaply from Alibi which supports the application perfectly. Unfortunately A’gon doesn’t allow pics so I can’t show you. Email me if you want pics
i also a Tenderfoot under the back of my Chord DAVE to keep it stable and prevent the front from tipping up. There are two Tenderfoot sizes depending on how tall your unit is. They can be combined. There is also a wooden height extension. |
These weigh about a pound. I purchased one for my wife last year (anvil is cool/box is cardboard). http://www.alloykats.com/acmeanvil.html
