High quality "locking" IEC connectors?

Does anyone know of a high quality IEC connector (pure copper conductors w/plating) that actually locks into place? Something similar to the connection for a balanced interconnect? or maybe something like a twist lock connection? I'm sick of trying to prop up my power cords to ensure that they are connected securely. I've seen some lower quality connectors available but nothing with good quality copper conductors. This seems like such an obvious need in high end audio. Anybody have any ideas?

Hello again,

Check out the Iego IEC Inlets. Not sure if it has been mentioned yet: http://www.cryo-parts.com/iego_iec_inlet.html

Or, you can get them thru David from Taiwan at a bit of a savings if purchased in multiples: http://www.audiocircle.com/circles/index.php?topic=41048.0;prev_next=next

Note these are made with either pure silver or copper w/ plating, NOT bronze or steel. I have 3 (copper w/ gold plating) on the way and will update upon installation and burn-in.

Regards,

Kenobi
