IEC inlet socket

Hi, I would like to ask the following. My DCCA power cord that has a Furutech FI-25 gold plated IEC plug on one end. Usually this plug has a nice tight fit when inserted into an IEC inlet socket but when I insert this plug into the IEC inlet socket of my Lamm L2 Reference preamplifier the connection is not tight but rather loose. Does any of you know what IEC inlet socket Lamm uses? Which IEC plug is slightly oversized so it will have a tight connection with the IEC inlet socket of the Lamm? Thank you.

wrap electric tape around the IEC cord side.

Alas, an all too common problem. I ordered my new amp with a 20 amp input IEC, and will transition to same throughout my system. Not only does the housing fit snug, but the actual connection is improved allowing for better current transfer.

Wattgates are pretty good as are Tek Line Cables new Reference Line. I just switched to his micro Reference Extremes ($500) and am quite happy. He sells direct saving us all money

Hi Chris,

Are you having the same problem with any of your other DCCA power cords or just this one??

Most of the aftermarket IEC's by Furutech or Wattgate are extremely thight. I wouldn't wrap any electrical tape as mentioned above to create a snugger fit... as your only asking for trouble when you try to remove the PC.
