Electrical Question - dumb one - but a good one

I am looking at an amp that has a 20 amp iec connection. I realize that my current power cord will not work - and I'm looking into have that '' retro-fitted '' with a 20 amp iec connection.....My question is ; '' the connection end at the wall - does the wiring, recepticle have to be changed because the amp end is now 20 amp iec, or does that stay the same and is okay as is '' ? Thank you.....

no, your 3-prong plug is fine, you just need to change out the bit at the component.

you can also get adapters that will convert a 15 amp to a 20 amp if you want to try out the cord before you mod it, i've found that using good adapters on power cords doesn't do much negative...

good luck!
