I know it's a pain to swap AC outlets, but once you find one that works right for our system and tastes, they're one of the most cost-effective upgrades in all of audio.You really need to try the Oyaide trio, the GX, DX, and XXX. They each have their own personality, yet, they are still quieter and more revealing than other AC outlets I've tried.
I used to have the API 116. If I were to stick with it, I'd go with the XXX wall outlet. If you want to add some more structural suport, but at a silly price, check out the WPC frame. I wrote a little bit about this and the Oyaide outlets on my blog, a few weeks back.
My API 116 had the 20A connector. Again, if I were to keep the 116, I'd get rid of whatever AC cord I was using (and I've used a lot, including some $2000 models), and ask Audioexcellence AZ (http://www.audioexcellenceaz.com/)to make an Acrolink 6N cord with and Oyaide 046 and the wall end, and a 20A connector at the component end.
