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?
I believe the "Maestro outlet" like any other product could have an occasional defect. A few years ago when I was reading all the hype on Audiogon I purchased a new Maestro outlet and installed it in my dedicated music room. After about six ins and outs of various AC power cords, I was auditioning the outlet came appart, as I recall the back strap let go and the outlet was worthless. I've never had that happen to an outlet before and I've auditioned at least a dozen high end outlets.
