Query on power cable with IEC C13 and US 2-prong


Hi, I just received my CEC TL5 CD transport,  I noticed the power cord 

that come with is IEC C13 on one end and the other end is US  2-prong.

Shouldn't the power cable come with 3-prong as IEC C13 configuration is 3-wire (live, neutral and earth) ?

All of the pictures of the back of your transport that I have seen show that it takes a standard C13 power cord  and there IS a ground pin, so YES - the wall plug should also be a standard 3 prong US wall plug, NOT a 2 pin without a ground.

This is interesting.  I have a Luxman integrated which, per US regulations should have been grounded, but is not.  I wonder if it's some common Japanese equipment thing?
