Common black electrical tape. Two to three turns around the connector. Works extremely good and costs almost nothing. And it’s adjustable (more or less wraps).
The IEC standard dimensions for inlets and connectors has a wide tolerance. So some connectors versus certain inlets fit better or worse than other combinations.
There are better electrical inlets but manufacturers refuse to use them. The IEC C19 being one of the good ones. Some manufacturers use them for amplifiers. But some companies (Audio Research) use them on their reference preamplifier and DACs because they provide a more secure connection and better performance.
