After speaking with Mapleshade, I have been assured the power cord(which has been in production for over a decade, will exceed far more voltage/current than what the average piece of audio//video gear needs.
I was encouraged to use it on my amp.
The reason it is no longer offered-a new and improved version will be out soon.
Pierre supposedly, regularly trips over and tears the thin film on these cables and He doesn't even use the film covering!
While I certainly WON't be doing that...
As mentioned earlier, I have been using it for a few years with great results.
The new version will have a different wire composition and connectors will be adorned with...

Very encouraging to say the least. I am glad to hear Mapleshade says the wire they used in the cord for over a decade was used in the manner, use intended, the manufacture designed/manufactured the wire per NEMA/UL standards for use as "power wiring" for a general use electronic equipment power cord.I am sure if you asked them for the manufacture of the wire and data spec sheet of the manufacture for the wire, describing its' designed intended use, they will be more than happy to supply it to you and you could post it here. Please also ask where the manufacture of the wire says the power wire does not need any further protection from physical damage/abuse when used as a 120V power cord.
Thanks,
Jim

....of all the aftermarket suppliers of all the audiophile power cords they sell.

... bearing in mind that none of them is "well known" in a conventional (non-audiophile) sense, AFAIK.
Just picked a Shunyata power cord at random.
