Where might I find cheater plugs?

Phydeaux - thanks for the reply. I was given one of the type you described and always wondered where it came from. I'll try Canadian Tire soon. I think that they are illegal though - I was told that by both Home Depot as well as Radio Shack.

Vivek,

If Canadian Tire doesn't have them, I think your best bet may be a local neighbourhood hardware store. These are almost a thing of the past themselves, but it's amazing what you can somtimes find in these little independant places. Re: illegal - I don't know how your local chains are run, but neither Home Depot or the various Radio Shacks in my area are know for hiring the best and brightest...

Good luck,

I'm going to have to ask, why not replace the outlet with a grounded outlet? Minimal expense, you were at Home Depot already, and you could probably do it yourself. Other than that, pull the grounding pin as Albertporter suggested. If you have a friend in the U.S., contact him, I know there are plenty of the cheater plugs in hardware stores, it could be mailed to you. These are all $1 solutions to the same problem.

I'm surprised no one is marketing "audiophile grade" cheater plugs. :-)

I had no luck finding any cheater plugs anywhere. So, I'll try Tjz's suggestion and replace the outlet with a grounded outlet.
