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.

I have an EMO amp that uses the "2-prong" IEC or C7 socket. I use the Cabledyne copper power cord with the Furutech C7 plug option. Superior to the cheap PVC cord supplied.

Is a C7 the same thing as a two prong cord ??
