Old thread, but I am considering replacing the current setup on my Furman SPR-20i. Now, there is a Wireworld Stratus with a Pangea 20A-15A adapter connected to the SPR; the Stratus gets to the wall via a Shunyata Venom extension cord. Because of concerns about the connection's stability, I'm thinking of getting a cord with a true 20A IEC (Venom HC perhaps) and getting it to the wall via a regular 12AWG extension. There are Transparent and Kimber ICs in the system, so the replacement could be either one of those brands as well, just with a 20A IEC. Alternatively, I could get an adapter to connect the Venom HC to the Stratus and remove the Venom extension.

I wonder if there's any virtue in making such a change other than improving the IEC connection. Wireworld cords don't offer the best IEC grip on my gear, and that's my main concern.
