RE: Has anyone made an audiophile grade cheater plug?

Posted by Awe-d-o-file on July 1, 2007 at 08:42:17:

I don't understand (economically) why you're using a $2700 power cord on a $1200 preamp. I too of course would connect my best power cord on hand to my pre and sources too...I seem to think one that can afford a $2700 power cord could afford a $10K preamp. Anyway, I challenge anyone here to tell us their horrific personal experience from lifting ground. "Theory" and "reality" don't always intersect. How on earth did we not burn down at least every other house in the 30's,40's,50's and 60's when no homes had 3 prong grounded AC. There are companies that sell nice powercords without a ground. I also understand why you wouldn't just want to take a pair of pliers to it and remove the ground pin. Good luck!
