Power cords,15A and 20A.What's the difference?

A 20 amp cord is not only capable of passing more current for sustained duration, it will have a different type of power plug on it that will only work in a 20 amp wall receptacle. As such, the two types of power cords are only interchangable if you have twenty amp outlets in your wall.

As a side note, IEC connectors that are used at the component level are quite a horrible method of trying to make a connection. If you are truly wanting to upgrade the current potential of the component, get rid of the IEC jacks and have some "real" power jacks installed. Trying to pass a sustained level of high current through any IEC will only result in "bad things" happening. Sean

Sean please elaborate regarding your comment above "get rid of the IEC jacks and have some "real" power jacks installed."

The IEC connector on the 20a cord is about 50% larger and has a different pin orientation than the 15a IEC variety and is usually only used on very large amplifiers....The wall plug on the 20a outlet has a different orientation as well and must be used with a 20a wall socket. Funny thing about the wall sockets and the wall plugs is they (20a) appear to have exactly the same pins/sockets as the 15a variety, just oriented differently......
