If you're running straight from a wall receptacle to your amp, I'd recommend an NR power cord. It will not only prevent noise leaving your amp but filter noise entering it from the AC mains.
Some folks may think that a dedicated line has no noise on it, but this is not the case. All AC mains wiring is a very good antenna for RF noise (including AM and FM radio) and is susceptable to EMI.
