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.

What to do.    
Start with the on board socket.   
 Is it a standard IEC?

Heres a chart for ID...

If your wall outlet accepts a 3 prong cord (2 flat/1 round) then a typical (here in the USA on newer gear, anyway) C14 cord will work.

The ground will not be connected @ the amp end as there is no 3rd/round prong.

The stock cord looks like a C18.

You have a pretty standard 2 prong cord. That means the amp is internally grounded and a ground wire is not needed. Nothing wrong with that.

Luxman makes some pretty nice after-market PCs.  Check out the JPR-10000, 15000 etc.

Ryder ---- "I guess you are not in the US since the power cord as shown in the photo of your System page is a 2 prong instead of 3 prong."

I am in the US.   The amp came form an authorized US dealer.
