I started with the PLC and then focused on power cords, but that may not be the best approach for you. The difficulty you seem to be facing is the ability to try out the product that we might recommend before you buy it. Purchasing a power cable or any component without the benefit of home audition first is extremely problematic. Also, it is true that many PLCs don't have the power or current handling capabilities to work well with amps. My PP-1 does, I believe the Hydra does and there may be a few others that do.

I think if I were in your position, which is limited access to US products and looking primarily for a power cord for your amp, I would start by emailing Virtual Dynamics to see about purchasing one of their cables with a money back guaranty. Tell them as much as you can about your system and needs and see what they recommend.

You could also call them. I have done that and they are very willing to help.

The reason I'm suggesting Virtual Dynamics is due to the fact that you don't currently have a PLC and the VD products may be one of the best for running directly from wall to amp.

Of course, I've never heard VD cables, so my advice is of limited value. However, there have been a number of positive comments posted here regarding their power cables.

Back to something I have tried, if there were any way you could obtain a Platinum Power PP-1 to audition and it were in your budget, I strongly suggest you try it. I run monoblock Rowland Twelves, the 400 wpc subwoofer amps of my Vandersteen Fives and all my source equipment off it with stellar results.
