Any locking IECs that I can install on an amp?


I am looking to install an IEC in a Counterpoint SA-220 power amp. Are there any locking IECs that I can install?

Thanks

Hey, Peter. Don't know exactly what you mean by locking IEC (since I don't believe such a thing exists).

But if you are looking for just a good snug fit quality-built IEC connector, you might try:

1. A Hubbell 15 or 20 amp IEC from Jena Labs that is cryo-ed.

2. A Marinco 15 or 20 amp IEC from Cryo-Parts which also have a pretty good fit.

Both of can brought much improved sonics because of the cryo-treatment as well as the snug fit.

-IMO
I asked the same question a while back, you'd figure in the audio and computer industry such a device would be available by now. (don't think it be too difficult to manufacture now days)
They'd sure be useful with todays larger-than-garden-hose AC cords for us audio heads !
Locking connectors on balanced interconnects and digital cables work very nicely.
Good luck Pete, maybe someone can help us both out here !
I just installed the Neutrik powercons ( similar to their speakons ) on my SA-220’s and on my old Electrocompaniet these are high amperage AC connectors that lock.

The chassis and cable connectors are less than 10 bucks each and you can use a chassis punch for mounting which makes installation very easy. If your interested I’ll be able to send pics in a few days
I have old tweaked Kenwood tuner with an old AC lamp cord. I would love to add an IEC connector but don't know how to cut the opening to accept and extra one that I own.

Any suggestions? Or is it more trouble than it is worth for a tuner?

Thanks,
Richard
