Check out this post:
http://www.AudioAsylum.com/audio/tweaks/messages/25544.htmlIf you need the pin 1 connection, then a simple 16 ga. wire will do the job OUTSIDE the shield braid, and doing it this way will avoid the residual leakage of ground line noise into the signal pair.
As for making any chassis connections, this should not be necessary with a balanced cable with pin 1 to pin 1 connected.
You mnetion you have two prong plugs on all your equipment, but are they all polarized, that is, is one plug a larger width than the other? If not, see:
