Very nice tuner..Take my advice,do not put in an IEC connector..I just cringe when people do that because not only do you kill the value of the unit,you are creating a weak link.
Get yourself some 16/2 with ground or 14/2 with ground wire from Home Depot and a standard 3 prong plug and solder the cord into the tuner..A wrapped and soldered connection is a hell of a lot better than a slip on that basically causes micro arcing..Then,go to McMaster Carr and get yourself two inductive RF filter clamps and screw them on the cord by where it goes into the amp.
Basically the good IEC cords trap out interference from plasma tvs,computers,I-phones and the list goes on..You are doing the same thing with what I described and you don't devalue your tuner.
Honest amplification is better than excessive 2nd order distortion anytime.

I've installed a few IEC jacks on components & have upgraded some "stock" IEC jacks w/Furutech pieces. I use Furutech because it has proven to be consistently well made. I can crank down on the screws w/o fear of stripping them & the plug to connector, at both ends, is really tight.
They have the IEC chassis punches now you can get for like 75 dollars and I was going to order one.They are great for new builds.
