Simple question. Is it ok to use a 10a 250v power cord in the united states on 110-120v products?

Example, 18/3, 16/3, 14/3, 12/3, ect. Good chance the cable is equivalent to 16/3. Might be ok, maybe, for a CDP but I would not recommend it for a preamp and definitely not a power amp. Jmho. Jim

I doubt if the unit even draws 1 amp, 120V X 1 amp = 120va watts.
