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.

Go to my virtual system for pictures.

Do you think that a company like Luxman would supply an inadequate power cord just to save a few pennies, having charged in excess of $5000 on average for their amplifiers, so that their reputation would be tarnished ?

If the provided cable can handle 15-20 amps, it is MORE THAN ENOUGH. Do not believe some of the myth you hear on this forum about power cables. There is no sense in it since you are limited by the Romex wire in your home electrical installation.

Save your money to buy vinyl and/or CDs instead.....

Jason bourne 52 is 100% correct in both his posts.
Manufacture of boutique power cords , power conditioners intended for audio use and expensive glass fuses are a cottage industry exploiting the placebo effect.
"Not putting a nice power cord in your very nice Integrated amp is a crime. You are leaving a lot on the table to extract the best performance from it...."

I’ve tried various audiophile power cables on my Bryston Integrated Amp and it doesn’t care what I feed it with. Bryston and Pass have long maintained that there is NO benefit in replacing the stock power cables with expensive "boutique" ones and, based on my experience, they’re right.
