By the way, regarding the reference to 60 amps, that has nothing to do with the power cord or the amp rating of the circuit. That's probably a spec that they use for peak to peak fluctuation within the circuit and give the impression of "high current " to prospective buyers. There are some amplifiers that are designed to accept 30 amp IEC cords but they also most probably require 220-240 volt AC power. I think Boulder monoblock amps are designed that way.
Power Cords for Parasound
Hey guys, I'm trying to find a replacement for my old original power cord. I have a Parasound Integrated. I know it requires an IEC type cord and up to 300 volts but its the amps that are confusing to me. Almost everywhere I look on the internet it says that a 15 to 20 amp power cord is plenty for these heavy duty amps. The manual says its wanting a 60 amp power cord. What am I not understanding here. I was hoping to just go to Fry's and pick up a normal IEC Type cord. I'm thinking those will probably no more then 15 amps. Any advice is welcome.
