Power cord for Proceed HPA 3

Do the amps require the connectors that 20 Amp power cords have?

I didn't know 20 amp power cords had special connectors, and I really don't know anything about them. Yesterday I plugged in a very stiff Pangea AC-9 I discovered I had bought at one time but never used. The box doesn't say what the amp rating of the cord is though. The sound seems to have lost a bit of detail compared to the Richard Gray loaner I've been using. I really dislike the stiffness, so maybe a 20 amp cable is not for me.

Contact Cullen Cable. Patrick will know what to make for you. I have 3 of his power cords. They are great.

Your amp has a 15 amp iec connector. A 20 amp cable has a different iec connector

You might want to try the Pangea ac-9SE - it is made from better quality copper.

Personally, I built my own from Furutech 10 gauge cable and silver plated iec/mains conectors - if you want details use the Agon messaging feature on "My Page" and send me a note - cost - $220 for a 7 ft cable

I am also using 10 & 12 gauge braided romex which works extremely well - almost as good as the furutech.

You might also want to try some stores for loaners - Nordost actually has a case of cables they give their dealers for loan purposes that has a selection of power cables to try.

No matter what cable you buy they are going to be pretty thick

Good luck

Look at this ad, it shows a 20 amp connector. Is this what the IEC on the back of the amps look like they take?
