Why would this be important?

With exactly same construction - do they sound different?

My amp will HUM loudly with a ground pin. Over 10 yrs I have tried everything to get around this problem, but, the only answer is to lift the ground pin. I have had this same problem with other amps as well. Probably has something to do with my electrical grid, but there it is.

I will try your suggestion once again though. Thanks.
