Using 15 Amp Power Cord in 20 Amp Receptacle
Thanks everyone for your input.  Everything is hooked and working fine (and better). 
Using 15 Amp Power Cord in 20 Amp Receptacle
Currently, I’m using the power amp in a 15 amp receptacle with no issue.  My concern is using my phono pre in a 20 amp receptacle.  
Using 15 Amp Power Cord in 20 Amp Receptacle
