PC Recommendation for Furman Conditioner

Hello. I have a Furman SPR-20i voltage regulator/conditioner and require a 20A IEC connector for my power cord.

I'm wondering if anyone can provide any recommendations on a PC to use. I have a VH Flavour 4 I'm currently using and could replace the 15A IEC with a 20A IEC as well instead of getting a new complete cord, (any recommendations on a good 20A IEC).

Also, I've been using a fair bit of stealth cables in my system and like how they present detail and neutrality in a laid back manner so I have been considering a Stealth PC, (never had one).

Also considering in no order....

Lessloss
Kaplan
DCCA
Tel-Wire (don't think they have a 20A IEC option though)

With the Lessloss I've heard some people don't think it's a good cable for a power conditioner, (although others say it is). I like the fact that it has high quality connectors though. With the Kaplan, it looks like the 20A IEC is only a 10 dollar part and while that may not make it bad, some feel the connectors are the most important part, (more so than the cable), but some feel it's close to a Kubala Sosna Emotion in terms of sound quality, (the only important measure).

Anyway, as you can see, lots of options and I know the "you'll never know, cables are so system dependent, etc" feeling. I'm just looking for opinions/thoughts. Thanks in advance.

Someone had emailed me asking what cables I used and in what places I had used them. Here they are.

I have a modified Slm devices Transporter, a Modwright 36.5 preamp, and a Levinson No. 35 amp. The interconnects were Syngergistic Apex from the source to pre, and Synergistic Precision Reference from the preamp to the amp. The speaker cables were Synergistic Apex. Those remained the same throughout the comparison since all we were talking about were power cords.

Audience
- Power Chords on the source, preamp and amp.
- AR1P single outlet conditioner. One for source and one for the amp

Kaplan
- 3 amp conditioned cord on the source
- 15 amp conditioned cord on the amp
- non conditioned cord on the preamp

I also used another 15 amp conditioned cord on the preamp. I did not have another 3 amp cord to use on the preamp.

Synergistic
- Hologram D on the source
- T2 on the preamp
- T3 on the amplifier
- Tesla Power Cell
