Grounded vs. ungrounded power cord


I recently purchased an Integra DTC 9.8 processor, and when hooking it up, was surprised to find that it had an ungrounded ac inlet! All of my other equipment uses grounded power cords, and over the years I have acquired a number of mid to high end pc's. This may seem like a silly ?, but can I use one of my nicer grounded cords, instead of the cheap ungrounded cable that Integra supplies? Thanks for the help!

Celtic66, beat me to the PS Audio reference. But it raises the question why all cable manufactures can't provide that option in the male plug? I think it is a great idea as in some enviroments removing the ground pin reduces or eliminates hum. Just a thought....but then, most of mine die of loneliness....
I think insurance is the biggest concern. If you DO have an electrical fire your insurance company may decide that your defeating of the safety grounds means they don't need to pay you for your losses, whether or not your actions actually caused the fire.

Guess it all depends on your tolerance for risk. There are safe ground loop breaking circuits published using a low value resistor and a diode bridge that can solve noise problems without defeating the safety ground.
