ARC Ref 3 Power Cord

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has replace the stock power cord for the Arc Ref 3 with some other power cord and has found it to improve the preamps performance? I have replaced the power cords on most of my other components and I am thinking of doing the same with the Ref 3. If so, is there anything good out there without spending an arm and a leg on?

Basic cord.......15 feet. Very, very heavy.....the weight of the cord can pull the connector out of the wall socket...I had to prop-up the cord right underneath the socket to make sure the weight of the cord didn't pull it out of the wall. You might not have that problem with shorter lenghths.

I know that the female end of the ARC stock cord is 20 amp.
Is the Male end 20 amp or 15 amp? The new cord I want to get is going to go into a Furman power conditioner which in turn goes into my 15 amp wall outlet. I am assuming I want a new cord with a 20 amp female with a 15 amp male end. Can anyone confirm this. Thanks

The male end of the stock Ref3 power cord will go into an ordinary household wall socket.
