I use a 14 gauge Acrolink 7N-P4020 III power cord with gold Wattgate evo AC connectors for a medium-current power amplifier in my computer workstation system and I like it for that application, and also use the power cord with various AC connectors for low-current gear elsewhere in both the computer workstation system and my main audio system. The 14 AWG power cord is not large enough gauge to be an optimum choice for a high-current power amplifier or as a power cord for a power line distributor/conditioner, but that does not mean it's inadvisable, since the clarity and nicely detailed treble characteristic of the Acrolink 7N-P4020 III is high-performance in nature, just not as large-scaled in terms of soundstage and imaging as a larger gauge power cord tends to provide. I you find it provides a strong bottom-end and satisfactory soundstage dimensions, there's no reason not to try it for those applications. A better option at this time is the 12 AWG Oyaide Black Mamba V2 bulk power cord at a similar, if not somewhat lower price point depending on the seller.
