Audio Research Ref 75 SE: Replace 20A IEC inlet with 15A

I don't think it's a good idea to take an amp that is 20 amp capable and put a 15amp plug on it. It could cause future owners an issue, a very bad issue. Have someone make up a cable for you. 

I already have a nice, and expensive, 15A power cord that I like and matches all other cabling in my systems so I'd rather not have to buy another expensive power cord of a different kind and options for 20A to 15A are limited.  But, the cable manufacturer is receptive to custom modifications so you bring up a good point and maybe I'll have them replace the 15A female connector with a 20A.  That is probably the path of least resistance.

The annoying part is that if I move on from ARC, I have a next to useless power cord that I'll need changed back to 15A again.  "First world problems" as they say.

Thanks!

@russ69 I don't see how that would cause a future owner a problem unless they only have 20A wall socket. 

Personally I would not change the IEC inlet, I would leave it as the manufacturer intended. A change could case a hassle down the road incase of a future sale. Also many times changing the IEC is not an exact fit and that causes other cosmetic issues etc.

I'd stay with the Voodoo adapters you currently use. I own several and use them regularly in various systems and they sound great.

don’t do it... just get a decent cord with 20 a plug
