High quality IEC chassis connector

[SvErD]

tvi:
Thanks a lot , thats just what the doctor ordered.

Brian:
Yes I've thought about wiring directly into the amp(via fuses of course), but I like to have the opportunity to be able to change cable easily. By the way I'm using DIY power cables:
3 x 2.5 mm² solid core.

Thanks again
Svein

The closest thing I know of is:

<a href="http://www.furutech.com/accessory_page3.htm#04"><img src="http://www.furutech.com/0305/b-inletg.gif"></a>
INLET(G) : Audio grade AC INLET
Conductor with Non-magnetic 24K Gold plated.
Type: 2-pole+earth
Rating: 10A 250V A.C. for North American
Features: All parts are proceed with Bronze and non-magnetism.
Specifications: Totally insulated body is constructed of Nylon .
Certification: UL Recognized 10A 250V A.C. conductor.

I'm a bit surprised that tvi finally found something but I think also that it's very near fraud. The only special thing is really the gold plated part. This connector is 10 times more expensive than a regular one. I don't deny that it look good though. I like gold and the colour of it!

Gold is very useful when the contact pressure is low and/or currents are low. I think gold is totally unneccessary in mains circuit, besides gold isn't very durable. How many insertions does this connector withstand without tearing the gold of?

But once again: Gold look cool.

I thought that it simply looked like a regular connector that is gold plated. I find the idea of a gold plated power connector kind of useless. I can think better ways to spend money on an amplifier, such as elements that are directly in the signal path.
