Is cheater plug safe with grounded monster power?

Tbg - responses in order of your questions:

No.

If you choose to play around with things electrical, you really should develop a better understanding about electrical standards and construction of the equipment you are playing with. Your assumptions may kill you. A chassis does not have to be referenced to ground if it is insulated. It's designed designed to prevent the chassis from becoming "live" if there is a ground fault. In this type of design there is no need for a ground prong. A chassis that is referenced to AC ground needs the ground connection; if it is removed and there is a ground fault, the chassis can become energized and deliver a potentially fatal shock to someone who touches it.

Isolation transformers and a properly-constructed star ground. This is what I did in my home theater. No "cheater" plugs necessary. BTW, I didn't try to pin any sarcastic labels on you. Why do want to start that kind of childish crap?

Circuit breakers will not stop an electrical fire. Circuit breakers will not prevent ground faults.

"STUPID, STUPID" Your statement prompted my dismissal of your condecenson. One of my undergraduate majors was EE, so don't lecture me.

None of the component that I refer to have plastic housings, so forget that assumption.

"if (the grounding of the chassis) is removed and there is a ground fault" (and if the person is grounded, there can be a fatal shock. Really? Lots of ifs, which many manufacturers ignore.

Shorts or hot wires cause electrical fires. Don't breakers deal with shorts?

Given your fear of electricity, you probably should use a 12 volt system.

I see no reason to continue this tangent off the original question.

"Shorts or hot wires cause electrical fires. Don't breakers deal with shorts?"

Thanks, good point. What is the chance of being grounded and touching the chassis when the chassis is hot anyway. I'll risk it and so does my family.

The chance is extremely high that you are grounded. TBG's pride is hurt. RESPECT ELECTRICITY!

Thank you all for your responses and advice.
(1) TBG, Gregadd, and Rex--I respect all of you replies and will investigate/research your ideas.
(2) AvGuyGeorge--I noticed no difference in sonics with the amp connected to the wall outlet vs. monster unit
(3) Darrylhifi--I don't know why some reputable companies make power cords with removable ground pins: It must be that under certain conditions the ground pins are not necessary. I think you have to be careful not to conclude that since they are removable they are not required. I'm too ignornant to know what would be appropriate electrical conditions to remove the ground pins. Will do some research here.
(4) Warnerwh--My toaster has 3 prongs. Maybe I have some "electrical ground phobia issues"?!

Gregadd has a very important point: Respect electricity. I need to understand with 100% certainty that a ground manipulation is safe, and will continue not to use cheater plug until then. Is it worth it to put yourself and family at risk? As an audiophile, I have gone though extraordinary measures to improve sonics for the quest of stereo nirvana--but we all have to be careful and knowledgeable about the electronics.

Respect Electricity.

Thanks again,
