As you can see from my post above, Caelin Gabriel said that this would have no effect on the effectiveness of his cables. Whether the effectiveness of other cable brands would be compromised by the lack of the ground pin can only be answered by them. But as for fitting, ANY regular, grounded, 15-amp aftermarket power cord can be used like normal with the Marantz gear, & the Shunyata PCs will work just as well as they do in your Classe gear.

As to my Classe M-700 amps, they are a VERY old model – I think I already had them when I met my wife, & that's over 26 years ago! I bought them specifically to power the woofer towers of my IRS Beta speakers, which need a LOT of horsepower to sound good. As the name suggests, the M-700s output 700 wpc @ 8 ohms, 1,400 wpc @ 4 ohms, & over 2,000 wpc @ 2 ohms! They definitely get those woofers moving...

Ditto here: I use a Wireworld power cable on my Marantz AV processor.
Works like a charm.
We own several Marantz products in our house. We love the brand.
