Using an adapter for any audio device tends to degrade performance, so re-terminating the power cord with a 15A IEC connector would be the most advisable option to consider. If re-termination is not acceptable, use of a premium 20A to 15A IEC adapter with copper contacts rather than a generic 20A to 15A IEC adapter with brass contacts would be a worthwhile option to explore. The relatively inexpensive Pangea Item # PG2015ADP from Audio Advisor with right of return if not satisfied would be a simple device to experiment with. However, the most straightforward option to consider if re-termination is unacceptable would be to replace the 15A IEC inlet of the component the power cord is placed on with a 20A IEC inlet, which would be an electrically safe modification in this case.
