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

Well, it's not "loose" as in moving around.  It just doesn't provide much grip when a cord is inserted.

I use Maestro, because of its neutrality....I think its the best (I've tried).  My outlet grips strongly....you must have a bad one....send it back for a replacement.
Try prying the flanges of the plug outward (there should be some give). Do it just enough for a secure grip when plugged in -don't go crazy.
