20amp IEC connector with a 15amp plug PC? ??

Microseconds concern me. Dynamics concern me. 800x5 @2ohm equals what for draw? I wish I had three phase! Any mathematicians or EEs ever wonder why some Levinsons, Halcros, should I go on(?), are ONLY available 240v 60hz? Sixth grade math anyone? Z.

Audio, Don't worry about the cord. Worry about the home AC circuit. A 20 amp wall plug accepts a horizontal blade as well as a vertical one. What we are trying to avoid here is drawing 20 amps to something that cooks at 15. If your equipment needs 20 amps, feed it that. You will be happy you did. Z.

Audio, No, the blades are the same size. Just the ORIENTATION differs. The wire in the cord (almost always) is the same size. The NEC sets standards as if we are all idiots, because it only takes one, if you know what I mean. If you want to feed the CJ 20A, verify 12ga leaving your panel, change the breaker AND the wall outlet. Plug your cord in and thank me in the morning. I would blank off any other recepticles on that circuit as well as dymo that wall plate 20A (idiot proof). You now kinda sorta have a dedicated circuit. You will hear it and you will like it. Z.

Audio, Amps, for one, like current and enjoy AC with low impedance. There are at least two classes of connectors NEMA specs as 120 or 240v. I use BOTH on one of my Krell amps. I had it built for 240v, so it has a 20A IEC input and a 20a 120/240v male. 20A (single) wall outlet. How much current (I know that is a big word for some of these forum pontificators) do you think a 5x200 amp will draw as it sees lower and lower impedances? Such as when the volume goes up? How much better do you think a product capable of drawing power will work when supplied with that power? Z.

Rex, I got a toughie for ya here. 8amps at 240v equals what at 120? Didn't this start with a question as to why mfgrs are putting 20A IECs on equipment? Ever see an amp with TWO 15A IECs? And instructions to utilize TWO different circuits? Z.
