Do I need 10 gauge power cord if I have 10 gauge from panel?


I just installed some dedicated circuits with 10 gauge electrical wire. But now I have to consider replacing my amp power cords because they are 14 gauge or higher.

Is this really necessary and any recommendations on quality 10 gauge power cords that I should buy?

IMO, adding hospital grade plugs will have a larger sonic impact. I have 2 dedicated 20A lines for my stereo. It turns out that with everything running and playing music, 2 amps, preamp, phono-pre, dac, cdplayer, turntable, draws only 2.4 Amps. So, the 20 Amp circuits were unnecessary.
