loose IEC power cord connection?


Recently read a comment about power cords not "ever" fitting tightly to the component. I certainly experience this especially with stiff/heavy PC's. Any thoughts on this or recommendations?
Thanks

Audio Research resisted using IEC sockets for years for this very reason. There is no better connection than a hard wired power cord.
It's not so much a question of the IEC connector fitting into the component. It's whether the connector grips firmly onto the component's prongs. Many connectors fall right back out and if that happens, no wrapping, etc. of ends is going to help make a firm electrical connection. This is the main reason I use Furutech IEC connectors when possible. They really grip.
Rrog, agree with you.

My Conrad Johnsons ART preamps (at least the series 2 and 3) came with hardwired cords. At 16,000 and 25,000 dollars, I don't think they were trying to save a few dollars by doing that. At least they have hospitol grade plugs on them.

Best method I found was fitting a piece of black heat-shrink tubing over the IEC plug.
