CAN YOU OVERPOWER A PIECE OF EQUIPMENT


Using a PS AUDIO Xstream Statement SC Power Cord on my vintage Marantz SA-8001 CD player ( as well as my JOB INT) - and have been told that that cord is designed for use with power amps, not other equipment: true? can/could I damage my CD player if I continue to use this cord into it?

The amp rating for an extension cord /fuse/ or breaker is the Maximum amount of current it can draw without overheating the wires.     If you plug in anything that draws less you are fine.  

Electrical components just draw what they need........Unless they are malfunctioning or shorting (and thats what the fuses are for)
