Thanks, I think I'll try it. I'll probably use 16-3 Carol, which is what I have now. The ground is already in the cable. It will be used for a 17W tube amp. Black is used here for hot and white is neutral. If I can find the cable sans ground, I will try that too.

Parts Connexion is where I got my Carol Cable. I bought a 250' roll eons ago. Still have a crap load of the stuff, truth be told.
PC has oodles of the two conductor variety relatively cheap.
I cannot vouch for how the three conductor Carol Cable will work for you, but it will definitely sound a bit different having that third wire (i.e., earth safety ground) in the mix, for sure.
Of course, you could always carefully razor open the outer rubber cable jacket and strip out the the three conductors and use the white and black only. Just be VERY careful not to nick those conductors, to avoid any possible shorting.
Let me know what you do, and what you think when you're done.
And best of luck, UB!
Cheers,

Major brain fart action this morning on my previous post.
Toot-toot!
Yeah, it was Parts Express.
Parts Connexion doesn't carry Carol Cable, as far as I know.
Sorry about that
The ground wire in the Carol is sheathed, like the others; it would be difficult to fish it out. It's part of the left-hand twist arrangement. I'll see if I can find some two wire type at Lowe's or Home Depot, or at an electrical supply shop.
The power cord is soldered inside the amp - no IEC connection; and the other end hard-wired in a pony panel, making comparisons almost impossible. Anyhow, I'll check it out. Thanks
Perhaps you could do a follow-up? It might be fun to share what you hear when you build it. cheers, lloyd (bluenose)..
