Heavy Power Cords

Hello All:
Perhaps someone out there might have an answer for me. All my gear sport after market Power Cords. The issue is their weight. They tend to pull themselves out of the back of my amp and pre-amp. Does anyone know of some sort of a cable clip or stabalizer that addresses this issue.
Thanks In Advance/ DR Cervantes

Easy,

Take a piece of black teflon heatshrink tubing (1/2" O.D. ?) carefully cut or trim it to the appropriate length with scissors or a razor blade and stretch it over the end of the power cord's IEC.

Some lube that dries will help slip it on easier.

A manufacturer needs to come up with a "locking-type" or "snap-in" IEC, similar to a balanced XLR connection.
