Then you can use any cord you want.
Naturally the debate over 'Will grinding down one edge destroy the sonics of the plug" could last for a near eternity.
I would say just be careful to not damage the plating on the flat surface...( done by making certain the grinder is cutting 'down' direction against edge of plating. So turn the plug over to grind other side to keep the cutting so the plating cannot 'lift' off the surface..)Or use a fine file. same thing..

and as pointed out, a 3-prong will not have a polarized blade. Since I'd be in some ways destroying an audiophile style plug, what would be something not stratospherically priced that would provide an open sound, leaning toward a nice solid bottom end and extended but smooth upper end? I'm building a new power cord for my Slee Solo Ultra-Linear Diamond head amp.
plug. By that I mean where the neutral blade is wider than the hot blade. Can you provide a picture of one?

You are right, jea48. The position of the ground prong dictates polarity, so there is no need of a wider neutral blade for the purpose.
