Interconnects, speaker wire, power cords. Ask the Cable Guys.

Was the power cord specifically designed for amps only?

There are some who argue that the preamp should be the only grounded piece, and I have heard of power cords for amps that have no ground wire. Having a ground on an amp frequently can cause ground loop hum. There is little question that having a grounded amp is safest, but it may also not sound best.
