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.

I will start by saying that I rarely use the stock pc’s on any of my gear.
I have a c900u/m900u combo, and several nice pc’s to try from nordost, audioquest, and others.  I found the supplied pc’s were best, just like with Shindo gear.  Tough to say what was different exactly, they just sounded off.  I even asked the importer about this and they also said the included cords are excellent.  He said some liked a aq hurricane on them, which I had tried also. 
Bear in mind that these things are voiced with that cord.  Often a change is perceived as an improvement, when it may not be long term.
I still use a shielded power cord however. This covers the AC wires in a shield that is grounded at the outlet and has no connection at the Luxman for noise reduction. 

Where does the noise come from that gets in there without the shield?
And what is the mechanism that allows it to get in?
Radio. Every wire is an antenna. Do you understand how radio works? Transformers? Same thing.
It sounds like you need to do your homework.

Or better yet, experiment. That is if you do own any audio system.

Or don’t. And instead keep reading and posting in the Internet. If that is what gives you a hard on.

I’ve tried various audiophile power cables on my Bryston Integrated Amp and it doesn’t care what I feed it with. Bryston and Pass have long maintained that there is NO benefit in replacing the stock power cables with expensive "boutique" ones and, based on my experience, they’re right.

Finally.... someone with a bit of sense.
