You could have an electrician run a separate ground wire, especially, to locations that probably need them. It is usually just a bare copper wire that is easily painted so it is not so visually intrusive. I've seen homes with them and I don't know the exact requirements, but they must be in electrical code.
I think your electronics will work just fine without it, but it is a SAFETY feature, which is why it is in electrical code. I wouldn't go touching your equipment all the time, especially NOT with one hand on one piece of equipment and another hand on another routinely. But just operating a volume or selector switch with one hand could at most just give you a buzz at worst, I am guessing. Of course, you don't have the equipment in a garage with concrete floors that may have moisture problems! Then, definitely get a ground installed.
I'm not an electrician, though.
