C7 cord or C13 w/adapter for integrated amp?

Looking to replace the stock power cord for my Emotiva TA-100 amp which is a C7 plug. However, all of the aftermarket cords with a C7 plug describe themselves as being designed for use with source components, such as a cd player.

Would these cords (like the Audioquest nrg-y2) be okay to use with my amp, or would it be better to buy a beefier power cord with a C13 plug and use an adapter to fit it to my amp? I'd like the most robust cord possible, just worried that the adapter will be a weak link in the chain and offset any good an upgraded cord provides.

Here is an example of an adapter:

Thank for any insight.

For $10 try the adapter, especially if you already have standard IEC power cords to try.

I used one (adapter) on a Pionner CDR once that was from Take Five in Canada and it looks like the one in your link.

Target sells them online and maybe Amazon.
