Lifting the Ground

Somebody please explain to me again the rules about using cheater plugs on audio componenets. I have my turntable, CD player, and preamp all going into a TICE power conditioner. Is it recommended that I use a cheater plug on any or all of the three units? I have my solid state amp going into a second wall outlet. Is it recommended that I also use a cheater plug on the amp? And what about the risks. I don't want to come back from work and find my house burned down.

"Recommended, surely not by the manufacturer"

Well, actually, the 500w subwoofer amp from Hsu Research (Model #500A)comes packed with a cheater plug, with the owner's manual saying that you should use it with the amp if you experience a hum problem. I did, and I did. Dave
