| Cheater plug safety jetter... does older equipment such as a Dynaco ST70 that has its original 2 prong plug have a greater shock potential?Yes, it actually does have a greater shock potential, because the ST70 was obviously a Class II device. This is why the thre... | |
| Cheater plug safety @kijanki is absolutely correct. If a device has a plug with a safety ground, it's a Class 1 appliance and defeating the ground poses a safety risk. If you have a noisy ground, lifting the ground isn't the solution. Star grounding can help, as can ... | |
