A pro amplifier designer of my acquaintance told me that he hated IEC
power inlets for amplifiers because he had measured up to 7V drop across
them in test.

Anyone else agree / disagree ?

The only time I have ever come across anything like that was when the
socket contained either a fuse or a filter, and the current was high.
Otherwise I would take it as a sign of a (dangerous) fault in the socket.

Slainte,
