captured cable to IEC conversion challenges

I have come back to 2 channel after a layoff and am finding out things have changed! I have two Boulder 500AE Amps running mono, one with IEC ac connections and one without. My Preamp is also Boulder, a L3AE, with a captured cord as well. I made the mistake of trying out an "new improved" powercord on the one Boulder and ran it in Stereo for a bit...Yikes what a difference! Now of course I want to use the cords on the rest of my equipment but can find no one to make the mod, and only a few "adapters" offered. I am wary of such adapters given the current and voltage producted by this amp. Any suggestions?

Okfmby60,

Your thread is old, but I was wondering if you were successful with an IEC cord for your L3AE? If so, how did it sound? I was also wondering what benefit an IEC would have since the L3AE's captured cord is two-prong without ground pin?
