RE: Shock Hazard

Reading other postings/other forums, supposedly the reason for not using a three prong plug on the magnavox amps is because not using the chassis as a ground will create a signal loop/60hz hum. Some post argue for or against star grounding. Some posts argue that there are ways of fixing the hum, but in any case it seems to be a issue that's debated. I do want it to be safe. I'm new to this, more research is necessary-- but I very much appreciate everyones efforts and inputs!
