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.

I use Audioquest NRG-4 with good results.  I haven't tried that many cords however but they were an improvement over the OEM's.

Any 15 amp cord should be fine from a safety standpoint.  Sounds like the manual has a typo, 60 amps is a ton of current.

I have had good experience with BLE Design power cables on Ebay.

+1 on Cullen and Signal.
I used to have Signal, then moved on to Cullen.
Both are nice upgrades.
