Power cord supplied with Luxman L-509X Integrated Amp

The power cord looks really cheap for such a quality amp. A polarized 2 prong male end to plug into the wall and only 2 prongs on the amp. What can I replace this with and not be unsafe? Seems all aftermarket power cables have 3 prongs.

Most eu equipment is double insulated and they rarely run a separate ground. Most equipment which is to be sold there would be two pronged.
A different cable may look nicer, but it is hard to not get the power into the gear with copper wires even if they are not pretty.

The sound of an electronic component starts with the power transformer, diode bridge and filter caps. NOT with the wire from the wall AC outlet! Fancy expensive power cords are just jewelry to impress the unenlightened! Let the stone throwing begin!

The sound starts with your audio system’s home wiring, grounding, circuit, outlet and conditioning. You also forgot the fuse!
