In Reply to: RE: The 15A IEC is inferior, that's all there is to it posted by Awe-d-o-file on August 14, 2015 at 11:08:24
When I recently had an amp rebuilt by Steve McCormack, we decided the best IEC is no IEC and hardwired the power cable to the amp.
I agree about the 20A IEC being superior based on my time with the DNA 500 amp.
The other consideration that the pro guys like is the powerCON connector. I have those connecting DC power from an outboard power supply to my preamp and the connection is very secure. They have silver plated bronze conductors, which are just about as good as it gets for power.
Follow Ups:
Yes, hardwired is best. But then buyers would complain they can't upgrade the power cord.
...to find the cord you want to use first.
This was a custom built amp so I would only have myself to complain to, since I picked the cord.
The way it is connected to the amp, I could easily change the cord myself, but it does inhibit cable surfing.
I have hard wired an upgraded cord. I've even hardwired a cord or two direct to the transformer primary bypassing a lot of crap that degrades the signal/sound with great sound improvement. Yes there are risks.....I have contingencies for those to prevent catastrophic failure.
