15A vs. 20A power cord questions


I'm installing dedicated 20A lines with 10AWG cable and Furutech GTX-D 20A wall receptacles. I am currently using the standard IEC power cords that came with my Rogue Cronus Magnum and VPI Scout 1.1. 

I rather not upgrade the power cables at this time. I would like to see the effect the dedicated lines and outlets have first. Are there any issues with running 15A power cords into a 20A outlet and line? Would a 20A power cord possibly sound better or is it just a matter of the blade orientation?

Code can be pretty quirky at times. After purchasing quantum tunneled Romex from Synergistic for my OR house job I found out that local code does not allow jacketed cable in conduit so my electrician had to strip the sheath and install the three separate runs, making sure to remember which direction to run the cable! 

In retrospect I think it would have been better not to install conduit, I understand that in general advice is not to use it in acoustically sensitive jobs. Unfortunately something I found out only after it had been installed. Oh well next time!

btw the SR Romex is cheap and well worth considering.  In my last room I used JPS labs cable which cost a ton, not sure I can claim to have heard a difference
