15A or 20A Power Cord

I have just purchased new system and I have not purchased power cords for equipment. I would really like to buy power cables either used or on sale to save a little $$. I have looked at Shunyata and I actually have Hydra 8 for my downstairs tv home theater set up. I see the same power cable offered in 15A and 20A but I do not know which one I need. My systems consists of DCS Puccini, Ayre K5xe, Ayre MX-R , Watt Puppy 8.

I appreciate any help.

Quanmer,

Sorry but I did not see your post until today. Hopefully you have purchased the hi-fi tuning fuses by now, if not, I echo Lenny_zwik's observations. I have the gold plate fuses. They sound great. I do not have any experience with the other more expensive lines. I will tell that I heard that the Silver Star can corrode but I do not know if this is true.

I would email the manufacturer about what fuses are needed and how many. If you cannot decide what line of fuses to get I would isolate a particular component, I would recommend the Ayre MX-R if you have that, and do a comparison. There are several fuses in each mx-r and it would be a bit of a pain to change everything out but this would be the only way I know to do a comparison.

Good luck!

Lenny_zwik,

Did you change the fuses in your Nagra PL-L? Are there any fuses inside? I have not checked it out.
More to discover
