I'd put the right connector on my cable.  All my amp cables are 10awg which is good for 20 amp+ but I put 15 amp iec connectors on them to match the amp.

Most power cables come with the right adapter on it. where did you get one with a larger connector?

I have 2 Shunyata Copperhead cables I use with the adaptor.  One uses the VooDoo and the other is the Pangea.  I hear absolutely no difference.  At the time, the Pangea was much cheaper than the VooDoo.

I’m with @carlsbad2 on this.  Terminate the cable with a 15A connector.

I compared the cheap ones with some $89 Voo-doos, the difference is enormous in favor of these. It was important to give them a long Burn-in period to obtain better results.
Finally, I changed my 15A cables to Transparent XL 20A IEC-19.

Hey, It takes 10 min to change out the IEC. If you feel you are degrading the resale value then just buy the Amazon adapter. It goes on very secure.
