Query on power cable with IEC C13 and US 2-prong

now if I only remembered how to highlight somebody's name, lol

@ditusa I believe you.  I'm not saying amps MUST have a ground.

In the case of the Emotiva, it is correctly labeled as being double insulated on the back, with the double rectangle symbols as can be seen here:

@erik_squires,

Look at the power consumption 350 watts on the back of the amp, below that right side, you will see the double insulated symbol. See below:

@ditusa Good catch!! I was looking for it near the power cord socket.  Odd that there is NO insulation between the main power fuse and the chassis though.  I guess I don't understand the requirements for being double insulated.
