I just picked up a couple of Duets and Quintets for my A/V systems. However, I noticed that there are a few different tightness level within those power ports. I am using the same AC plug for this experiment.

1) Some power ports are easy to plug in and unplug.
2) Some power ports are hard to plug in and unplug, but manageable with just the force of your hands.
3) Some power ports are extremely hard to plug in and unplug. You really need your body weight to help push the AC plug in.

I have a Duet with all type 1 power ports and a Duet with all type 3 power ports. However, for the Quintet, I have a combination of all three types of power ports.

I don't think it is normal to have such a large variations in tightness within those power ports. I have never used this newer power ports style but I heard that this has happen to the older power port style used in the UPC-200 and PS Audio do offer warranty replacement for the power ports that do not offer a tight grip.

For this newer power port style, which tightness level of grip is considered normal? Has anyone experienced the same problem that I have?
