TAD M2500 amp - Power Cord warning

Hi Everyone:

I would like to upgrade the power cord thats connected to TAD M2500 amp with one of the aftermarket power cord from either Audioquest or Siltech(Ruby Mountain). My question is 2 fold (The inlet on the amp is 2 pronged).


1. I see the following statement in the user manual for m2500. 

        • Although the power cord to the unit is removable, do not attempt to use a power cord other than the supplied cord.


Why would they print such an explicit warning? I tried to see some pictures/videos when this amp was used in a TAD demo room, but couldn't find any that shows which power cord is connected during their demo.


2. My second questions is, can I use c15 plug to connect to this amp, even though the inlet is only 2 pronged. I think my second question could be already addressed here.

Thank you Erik, Hvymec.
@phd, the 2 pronged male inlet on the amp can accept the 3 pronged female plug, but the ground plug is not connected on the amp side. It will be connected to on the AudioQuest Niagara 5000 side though.

Anyone with a good result from changing the cord on TAD M2500? Which cords have you tried and liked. I changed the original cord with AQ Z3 yesterday, just to test it.  I thought I heard some improvements. Although that's not the final cord I would go with.
