Question regarding power cord upgrade


I want to upgrade my 508.24 power cord to something like the Electraglide, PS Audio Lab or the Synergistic Research AC Master Coupler all of which appear to be 3 pronged grounded cords. Are 3 pronged cords compatible with my 508 which comes with a 2 pronged cord? Any precautions, downsides, or concerns? Any sort of adaptor necessary or is it simply plug and play?

Ed's question: will a grounded cord fit my machine?
Likely it will if the IEC's are the same shape, but the Meridian simply lacking the third ground-pin. In that case the third wire simply sits unused & not connected at the load end, no problem. The AC cable may still use this ground lead as a sort of shield as well, which being terminated at the source-end only would provide a beneficial shielding effect.
