Integrated Amp Utilizing 2 Prong Power Cable

Greetings,
My new Yamaha AS2000 integrated has an atypical 2 pronged IEC and stock 2-pronged power cord rather than the typical 3-pronged grounded IEC and power cord.

Are there any detriments to using any of my aftermarket 3 pronged power cords with the AS2000?

Do you know of or can recommend a quality 2-pronged aftermarket power cord to improve on the stock power cord that came with the AS2000?

Thanks

No detriments at all. It just means the component isn't grounded. They are much more selections with the third prong in PC's. They all will work just fine.

Yes, there is nothing wrong with doing that. As long as it is an IEC terminal. The pos. and common will do as they always do, but the ground wont be attached. Many, but not all cd players are non grounded.
But you will have more choice in high end aftermarket PC's that have the ground. Hope this helps.
