Does anyone offhand know the gauge of the power cord that comes with the DVA SET 500 Power amp?

All AVA amplifiers and preamplifiers are shipped with 16 gauge power cords.

I replaced all my stock AVA power cords with 12 gauge or better cords. I have 20 amp circuits and figured I would match the gauge of the wire within the wall.  That being said, if you’re pulling enough current to your AVA amplifier to heat that wire up beyond luke warm, your speakers have already melted, your ear drums have ruptured and the fuses likely blew.

It doesn't matter much what the gauge of the power cord is. The circuit starts at that big power company transformer way down the street and ends at your audio component. So the cord is a very small part of the circuits total end-to-end resistance. Also note that when playing music, the cord will have no problem delivering ten times its rated current.

 Ok, thanks everyone. I was just wondering because it seemed like the cord that came with the amp was a bit thicker than the ones that came with my other AVA gear and I may have mixed them up, If they're all the same then I'm mistaken, and it doesn't matter. Thanks.
