RE: What type of power inlet connector are they using ?


Good pic showing the IEC C20 inlet.

Yup. ARC also uses IEC C20 on some of their larger products as well.

Contact surface and solid tight connection at the AC inlet is much more important on high power components like large power amps for safety reasons. Poor connections at high current draw will cause heat and the potential for fire.

Many older large Krell amps used large gauge welded captive power cords for this reason, as do some other amps in production today.
