Do the amps require the connectors that 20 Amp power cords have?

I didn't know 20 amp power cords had special connectors, and I really don't know anything about them. Yesterday I plugged in a very stiff Pangea AC-9 I discovered I had bought at one time but never used. The box doesn't say what the amp rating of the cord is though. The sound seems to have lost a bit of detail compared to the Richard Gray loaner I've been using. I really dislike the stiffness, so maybe a 20 amp cable is not for me. db |
Your amp has a 15 amp iec connector. A 20 amp cable has a different iec connector You might want to try the Pangea ac-9SE - it is made from better quality copper. Personally, I built my own from Furutech 10 gauge cable and silver plated iec/mains conectors - if you want details use the Agon messaging feature on "My Page" and send me a note - cost - $220 for a 7 ft cable I am also using 10 & 12 gauge braided romex which works extremely well - almost as good as the furutech. You might also want to try some stores for loaners - Nordost actually has a case of cables they give their dealers for loan purposes that has a selection of power cables to try. No matter what cable you buy they are going to be pretty thick Good luck |
Look at this ad, it shows a 20 amp connector. Is this what the IEC on the back of the amps look like they take? http://app.audiogon.com/listings/ac-cables-sonoran-plateau-3-feet-20amp-iec-2013-09-05-power-22031 Chuck |
