Yo Commodore, You can pick up the 3-prong AC adapter plugs ("cheaters") at any electronics store, even Radio Shack. Some supermarkets, drug stores, discount stores like Wal-Mart, Home Depot, or any hardware store--really just about anywhere! These things are very common. :)

Cheater Plugs?, you guys talking about those grey 3 to 2 prong adapters? Thus eliminating the ground?

Thanks again all. Just talked to Mr. Poon at Monarchy Audio. By the By, super nice and helpful. He agreed that Cheater plugs would fix the problem and that my Hafler didn't have the problem because it has a two prong plug. Can't wait to get out of work and give it a listen
