Vintage preamp/amp power cords

Let me just say I don’t want to start a discussion if power cords make or don’t make a difference. I’m just curious to know if folks with older gear with captive power cords mostly considered a replacement with IEC type plug. The power cord on my McIntosh MC2200 is literally a little better than a high quality modern lamp cord, But it’s been there for almost 30 years. The main objective of the replacement would be safety as well as Sonics, if any.

I agree that the cleanest way is to avoid using an IEC socket, and instead replace the cord straight into the power supply.

Don't go crazy on wire size either. If you must increase the hole size, make sure you secure an appropriate grommet.
