Loose fitting power cord.



The power cord (Morrow) to my amp (Benchmark AHB2) is loose fitting.  It keeps falling out with the slightest movement.
Two questions.
Will that affect the ultimate SQ?
Is there any way to fix the problem short of getting a new cord?

Wrap the Teflon plumber’s tape around the termination of the PC. This will make it fatter and will be a tighter fit. I have used this method many times.
If the cable is extremely heavy, I use a block of wood or heavy sponge rubber underneath the cable behind the component.

Electrical tape is the first method I tried and it’s a bitch to clean it all off. No adhesive on Teflon tape and it's resistant to heat.

Makes sense, but some of these aftermarket cables make a tight electrical connection. It’s the smaller size of the molded termination that creates wiggle-room in the IEC.
This is the case with my Audience PC’s.

However, the OP's cable seems like it's not a tight connection.
