RE: Which power cable

A mundane 20A OEM replacement power cord would feature a 20A AC plug, and would not be a good sounding choice anyway. One option would be to replace the stock 20A IEC inlet with a 15A IEC inlet if you are willing/able to modify the chassis back panel, since there are no drop-in 15A IEC inlet replacements with the same dimensions as the stock 20A IEC inlet. The most obvious option is to continue to shop for an affordable power cord build that features a 15A AC plug and 20A IEC connector. Some power cord builders/sellers offer a 20A IEC connector option, such as the Economy Wattgate 320i 20A IEC connector if an Audio Grade IEC connector is priced too high for your budget. If willing/able, a DIY project to replace a 15A IEC connector terminated power cord with 20A IEC connector may not be too difficult, even for a DIY newbie if well-informed, careful, and confident.

A 15A to 20A IEC adapter is bound to degrade performance, but if you wish to use one, a Pangea IEC adapter with copper contacts (not brass) seems to be a good economic option.
