Cable droop

He said, insultingly.

You might try to fit a piece of wood or cork between  the plug where it connects to the component and the shelf  it is resting on to keep it snug.

Just keep in mind, never really supposed to see how the sausage is made. Might ruin your appetite! 😂

Never a truer word spoken. For the record, millercarbon can be insightful. insulting, intuitive, informative, instigative, and humorous, and that's just in one post!

Been thinking about this ugly as crap spring thing. Depending on how it goes, it might morph in surprising ways. One thing for sure, its too ugly to just use as-is, no matter how good it sounds. Like my cable risers, some of them are two pieces of MDF screwed together and spray painted black. Took all of like ten minutes to make em. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367 Might not even have had to cut anything, just scraps screwed together. Just something to raise the IC enough to clear the conditioner. When they worked, oh well, paint em black, call it good. 

Under the speakers though is a different story. Will have to figure out some way to make em look good. If they even work. First things first. 

One thing for sure, cheapest spring thing ever: total cost $0.00!

My nice Power Cables tend to droop or drop where plugged into my Inakustik 3500p conditioner.  I don't hear a difference, but it bugs me.
If I wiggle a component the power cord tends to do this at the conditioner (male plug) end.  I don't have much issue at the component end.  My unit is on a shelf, extending to  the rear of my 18" shelving, I can not put something under it.
I am thinking of an elastic (thick rubber band? which goes around the PC end and the flap on my conditioner.  I realize many components don't have this flap / cover like the Inakustik. Or maybe a velcro band...
Anyone else tried this?  Audience AU 24SX PC's.
