Heavy Power Cords

Hello All:
Perhaps someone out there might have an answer for me. All my gear sport after market Power Cords. The issue is their weight. They tend to pull themselves out of the back of my amp and pre-amp. Does anyone know of some sort of a cable clip or stabalizer that addresses this issue.
Thanks In Advance/ DR Cervantes

Teflon tape would I imagine be way better than electrical tape in terms of not leaving any goo, better heat resistance, and better "adjustability" since its so thin. The down side would be many more wraps and more patience necessary because its so thin. No free lunch.

Swampwalker,
An alternative might be 3M 70 self fusing silicone tape. It only sticks to itself and there is not any residue, none.....

A manufacturer needs to come up with a "locking-type" or "snap-in" IEC, similar to a balanced XLR connection.

These work very well when stacked interlocked between your shelf or floor and your power cord...they're rubber so they don't mark anything up either...
