RE: Strain relief - IEC

There are many reasons a 20A is superior. Look at both and compare the surface area. But the real improvement comes when one compares how they fit and stay "together". I don't know anyone who hasn't had a 15A IEC come loose out of a piece of gear when using 14 gauge or larger power cords. There is just not enough length and surface area on a 15A prongs. All good hi-fi gear should have 20 IEC regardless of its current consumption for superior power transfer and the superior physical connection.
