| Ground Cheater plug or.... Here's another option & one I use myself on my CDP. Buy a Volex cord which is very good for around $7 from Newark & cut the grounding pin off w/some stout wire cutters. I do prefer to have my amp grounded. PS Audio & TG Audio sell ungr... | |
| Do you believe in Magic? any publicity is good publicity & from the looks of Geofkait & Capt Coconuts sales feedback they don't need any help. these guys are cleaning some clocks. PT Barnum woulda loved it. | |
