Oh Pls Help

I heard of a case recently where a guy touched the chassis of a power amp that had a cheater plug. He ended up wearing his beer after the jolt he got. Okay, there may have been a problem somewhere, but beware of cheaters...the ground prong is there for a purpose....so the chassis does not float.

Plato (aka the fountain of wisdom): I'm unsure about how many beers this guy had chugged before, or whether he intended to share his beer with the amp. Needless to say, had you been in his position, the jolt would have done nasty things to your toga, O Wise One ! BTW, I agree that drinking and critical listening do not mix, but this guy was at a party, and his critical faculties were no doubt not at their best. The correct way to fix a ground loop is to interrupt the loop, but not at the chassis ground. Sorry, but I am cautious and do not believe in cheaters, even if they work.
