Need a heavy duty receptacle

Apology accepted.

Jedinite24,
I have 2 Custom Power Cord Company model Eleven's for my subs. Believe it or not the bigger problem is my Silver Circle Vesuvious plugged into a PS Audio Soloist wall outlet for all my other components. The Vesuvious is lighter and smaller, but backs out of the outlet easier. Hate to ditch the Soloist, but don't know what else to do.

Thanks for your suggestions. I did just order 2 of the Porter Ports from Albert.
Still not sure I want to part with the Solist so I'm holding off on that one. Besides, the Soloist is behind my audio rack and basically undisturbed except for when I might change cabling around. Still annoying to me that it doesn't take much at all for the PC to back out. The 2 I'm replacing now are right in the path of that dreaded vacuum and the PC's are so stiff that any slight movement will cause the PC to back out.

Jea48,
Interesting mention about installing the outlet with the ground up. Curious about how that "holds" better?

When is somebody going to come up with a "twist lock" power cord and receptacle for us crazy audio people. You know like they use for pools.

Porter Ports are installed, but have to report that they don't hold the power cords any better than the outlets I replaced. I did manage to "form" the power cords (they are stiff!) so that they are resting on the floor, which now picks up most of the weight of them. It'll work unless someone hits one with the vacuum.
Don't get me wrong, the Porter Ports are far superior in quality than the cheap outlets I replaced, and I probably would have replaced them anyway.

Jonoulman,
I'm aware of the twist lock plugs and outlets in the electrical supply stores. I would imagine you had to make a DIY power cord?

Yeah, I tried that way first. Then turned it around after I saw it backed out just the same. I think now after spending more time with this, that the problem is more to the fact that the power cords are so stiff, than the actual weight of them. Like I mentioned, I have them molded so the floor actually supports them and keeps them fully plugged in now.
Thanks for all your help.

While we're on the topic of droopy power cords, I would also mention that some of my power cords also sag down a bit on the female end in my component sockets as well. In particular my VooDoo Silver Dragon.
I'll bet if some power cord manufacturer came up with a high end twist lock with matching outlets they would get some attention. Not sure how they would address the female end at the component though.
Hey, wait a minute, my wife works at an attorneys patent office. I wonder..........

"Hubbell manufactures exactly what you describe"

As I mentioned in my post above, I am aware of those twist lock ends.

I guess where I'm going with this is why don't these makers of big, heavy, stiff power cords make another way to plug em in and not droop. Why should one have to "prop it up" or whatever other means to stay connected?

I remember a stiff DCCA cord I had once moved by accident and broke the ground pin off. Cost me $50 to have the pin replaced plus shipping both ways. Some of these are just too much power cord for the (conventional) ends they put on them.

Very useful information here. Never really thought about supporting the heavy cables from stressing the components or the isolation platforms. I'll get to work on this. Thanks guys.
