Heavy Power Cords

My amps are on 7" amp stands and had the same problem. I just made some cable lifters the same height as the iec and used rubber bands to hold the cords in place. I still had to use the teflon tape on the cord ends but now it is straight with the iec with no sag at all. After that I did the same for the ic so there would be no sag also.

Not that hard to do and cost about 20-25 bucks for four.

Teflon tape would I imagine be way better than electrical tape in terms of not leaving any goo, better heat resistance, and better "adjustability" since its so thin. The down side would be many more wraps and more patience necessary because its so thin. No free lunch.

Swampwalker,
An alternative might be 3M 70 self fusing silicone tape. It only sticks to itself and there is not any residue, none.....

Hello All:
I would like to thank the many members that responded to my little problem. As is the norm with Gonners, helpfull and willing to take the time to help less knowledgable. All the suggestions are very clever and much appreciated.

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

These work very well when stacked interlocked between your shelf or floor and your power cord...they're rubber so they don't mark anything up either...
