Getting an outlet to grip better..

Greetings from Oregon,

i have an "audiophile" outlet that I installed recently.  It sounds good, but the "grip" of the outlet is very weak.  Any power cord used with it just sort of hangs there precariously.  Not good for sound or for my gear if the cord slips out of the outlet.  Any suggestions for improving the grip?  

Thanks, Scott

I'm not aware of a meothed to increase the grip of your outlet. If it were me I would relpace it with a different outlet. Out of curosity what outlet is it?

An "audiophile" outlet should provide better contact. This is generally achieved by increased contact area and pressure. If the outlet has a very weak "grip", then it may be defective or just a poor design. Either way it should be replaced.

You can't really fix lack of grip.  It's a sign of poor design/craftsmanship.  Agreed that you should look into something from Furutech depending on your budget.
