15A or 20A Power Cord

I have just purchased new system and I have not purchased power cords for equipment. I would really like to buy power cables either used or on sale to save a little $$. I have looked at Shunyata and I actually have Hydra 8 for my downstairs tv home theater set up. I see the same power cable offered in 15A and 20A but I do not know which one I need. My systems consists of DCS Puccini, Ayre K5xe, Ayre MX-R , Watt Puppy 8.

I appreciate any help.

Easy . Look at the back of your equipment specifically at the iec power connection . If the blades are all running horizontal its a 20 amp plug (-_-). If they run vertical they are 15 amp plugs (i'i). Cheers

Bjbcab, have you replaced all fuses in MX-R with Hifi Tune fuses? If yes, can you describe the differences, thanks!

Hi,
I have almost the same exact system except for Nagra PL-L and W/P 7. I got Hydras and Anaconda AX / VX everywhere as applicable. The Ayres have a Hydra 2 between them and the wall. The front end components plug into a Hydra 8.

Quanmer: I have replaced all the fuses in my MX-Rs with the HiFi Tunes. A greater sense of ease and openness resulted. It's definitely worth the $400 bucks or so. There are 5 fuses in each amp.

Lenny_zwik, Could you more specify which Hifi Tuning fuse you are using, they have three models : Gold Plate, Silver Star and the most recent Supreme,

And which Spec you use?

Friends told that Hifi Tuning fuses are directional, have you found that, too?
