    I've read (in my tube amp book) that you have one amp grounded to the wall plug and the other amps are not. The cables will complete the grounding for all of them. That way it's supposed to be safer and no chance of reversed polarities.

    Care to clarify...I didn't quite understand what do you mean, other amps?

    The other amps are not grounded. Let me find that part in the book and I'll get back to ya,

    EDIT: ok I found the article. It's more concerned with ground loops and hums so it doesn't apply here. Anyway they ungrounded the other amps by using the 3 prong to two prong adapters.
