I got a used BHC and the seller forgot to include the cord.  Sounds like the cord that comes with the kit is a 10 amp/125 V cord like ones often used for TV and desktop computers so I unplugged one of my TVs and used that cord and sounded good to me.  But need to get a power cord so I can return this one to my TV.  May get the power cord kit down the road but going to wait on that.

Saw a post on headfi where someone said they like a 14awg cord instead.  Any harm in using a  14awg/15amp/125V cord with the BHC?

Thanks

Any old IEC cord will do.

I just happened to have a 16 guage PC with the right angled IEC on it. Perfect fit. :)

Thanks, any sound benefit to using a thicker cord like 14awg?

My experience has been that a shielded cord can be beneficial
