Ok, this looks like as good a place to post this as any so here's my question....

I've got a 100W 2 channel JCM800 with one of the ears broken off the IEC plug on the back of the chassis. I was going to just replace it and thought, ya know....maybe this is a good time to upgrade this part a tad and install one with an integrated rf/emi filter like you see in a lot of current production amps. So, first question is, does it do much of anything, and secondly, I was checking mouser and they have about 10 million of them so I'm clueless as to which one I would need.

Any help here would be very much appreciated.

TIA

I would repair the amp by itself, and not bother putting an RF/EMI filter directly into the amp. I would build a seperate one to plug the amp into, if it was necessary.
