Just took delivery today of the Duet...and experiencing the
same tight problem. Altho it tightness seems to depend on the
type of power cord you are plugging in. I have a Marinco branded
male plug and it was a total bitch to plug in. I have two standard
plugs that are fixed to the source components and they were easier
to plug in...altho' exhibited a push to get them in as well.

  The Duet and Quintet plugs can be quite stiff to push a connector in. We actually worked hard a specifying the right materials to keep a strong grip, so rather than a defect it's something we wanted in the Power Port.

    So Paul,

    I understand that you like to build a Power Port with strong grip and we all want it. But, please read my initial post.

    I am using the SAME ac plug and find that there are different level of grip amoung the 10 outlets within ONE Quintet and there are different between TWO Duets as well. Is it because of QC problem? I just like to know what level of grip should we expect.

      Ah, sorry about that. I too have seen some variability in grip strength on the Quintets and all meet our requirements for pull force and most exceed it. I am not sure what to tell you for a standard though....personally, the ones with the grip of death make me feel better. :)
