Ahh NO to the prior posts only because they do not mention that an IEC inlet for 15 amp (on the cord a female end with three openings vertically as seen with the rectagle flat on the long axis). and 20 amp (The IEC end female with three blade holes placed horizontally with the rectangle of the body long axis horizontal) are totally different and cannot fit AT ALL into each other.
So you have to actually LOOK at the back of the electronic item and see if the IEC (nearly ALL consumer electronics with a detachable cord sold in the USA have a IEC A/C connector on the back of the equipment to connect the power cord..
See If the IEC male A/C plug has flat across blades (20 AMP IEC)
Or vertical orientated blades (15 amp blades)
This is with the IEC (on the equipment, as an rectangular opening with two or three blades sticking out from the innards of the rectangle) orientated the long axis horizontally.
(some have the IEC block in the product rotated 90 degrees up)
Anyway, both a 20 amp and a 15 amp aftermarket powercord have the same American wall plug shape. with the IEC female end being either the 15 amp type, or the 20 amp type.
Nearly any of the 15 amp type certainly can be used if the IEC connector in the product is a 15 amp type.
Usually any amp which weighs less tha 120 pounds will use the 15amp IEC connector. Only SOME gigantic monster amps use the IEC 20 amp
Sorry to complain but those posts above have all sorts of theory, and no practical advice for buying a damn power cord for your amp.
A great cheap but decent powercord is from Pangea, only available from Audio Advisor The Pangea AC9 cord. Another good one is the Shunyata Venom 3
Added: The Torus power conditioner, depending on model, may use the 20 amp IEC in its A/C connector. So be certain to check that one too.

And to confuse the OP even more...
My Furman REF20I power conditioner had originally a 20 amp connector for it A/C input. i swapped it out for a Furutech 15 amp IEC, so i could use the far more common 15 amp aftermarket cords.
The Furutech 15 amp IEC had screw down connections on it's chassis for 10 gauge wiring. (which was inside the Furman Power conditioner.) PS the size of the 15 and 20 IEC are the same.
And I am sorry for making my post so complicated. Some of the discriptions are way over the top complicated. but i want the Op who knows nothing about the IEC, to recognize the difference in the construction
