Non-grounded power cables

I've just purchased a new Blu-ray player and noticed that the power cord connector has only two prongs. As the AC cable is detachable, I would like to upgrade the cable. Does anyone have or know of any upgraded two prong power cords that I should consider?

If you have a IEC plug on the component any cord with a IEC plug will work as Albertporter indicates. But if you have the figure 8 type of connector I have found a Cardas cord in Microtwin only that has that connector. Maybe someday all audio/video equip will standardize on the IEC plug.

PS Audio makes a 2 prong 12awg cable you may want to take a look at.

Thanks everyone for your response. This website has always been excellent whenever I need an answer. Albert, as usual, you were "right on". I can use virtually any power cord on this player but only experience minor improvement in color and sound. It was however worth upgrading the cord from the stock one.

Happy listening (and viewing) everyone.....
