Power Cords for Parasound

Hey guys, I'm trying to find a replacement for my old original power cord. I have a Parasound Integrated. I know it requires an IEC type cord and up to 300 volts but its the amps that are confusing to me. Almost everywhere I look on the internet it says that a 15 to 20 amp power cord is plenty for these heavy duty amps. The manual says its wanting a 60 amp power cord. What am I not understanding here. I was hoping to just go to Fry's and pick up a normal IEC Type cord. I'm thinking those will probably no more then 15 amps. Any advice is welcome.

Never used Signal Cable, but I own 3 Cullen Crossover cables, obviously I found them to be good performers.

I have tried 5 different power cord brands (nothing overly expensive), two of them I didn't like (way to warm in my system), when I decided to try a Silnote Audio Poseidon ES power cord I was surprised how much it improved my system. After using the Silnote for a while I decided to buy a second one.

I use one Silnote cord on my integrated amp and the other on my phono stage, other equipment using my other cords. I have found power cords to make a profound difference on my systems performance.
