Sagging power plugs in wall outlet, diy
The easiest thing would be drill a wall anchor above the outlet and secure with a zip tie but that might not look very neat. @rfprice If you use that method,... I would recommend you use what is could a Plastic Toggler for the wall anchor...

@rfprice My Daughter is come over tonight. I will have her, hopefully, post a couple of photos on the thread. FWIW, I like @whart idea of the Hockey Pucks. You could get creative and start with a puck laying flat for a base. Then two standing ...

@whart You got me thinking... The possibilities of supporting from the floor are endless... Here’s just one example: LEGO Parts and Pieces: Black 2x4 Brick x50 Design and build your own.  
2 conductors vs 3
@miklet1 I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to replace that cheapo 2 conductor 16ga cable with a good, doesn’t have to be expensive, 3 wire after market power cord. I would probably look at, minimum, a 12ga conductor power cord. Try before you buy...

@rfprice FYI the Shunyata’s SR-Z1 outlet is basically a stock Hubbell HBL5362, (20 amp), duplex outlet. It has good contact holding pressure but it is no where near that of Furutech Receptacles outlets or the Audioquest NRG Edison Duplex Wall Ou... 
Is it a Bad Tube or a Bad fuse (Fuse Fatigue)?
That’s a pretty nice amplifier to just use a guess what caused a fuse to blow. These fuses are subminiature 250 Mv. Is that a typo mistake? Is that suppose to be 250V rated fuse? What amperage rating? How tight is the fit of the fuse in the fu...

Measurements for a dedicated line
@dpop, I ran some tests for VD on a convenience receptacle outlet branch circuit. Wiring is 12/2 with ground NM cable, (Romex trade name). Length, distance, from panel to wall outlet used for test is approximately 65 ft. Nothing was plugged into...
