RE: The Monster Amp

Here's the thing SF.... I never mentioned anything about a polarized plug. Polarized plugs, cheater plugs etc... were never mentioned by me. The original question was about a 35 year old amp that never had any such thing as a polarized plug fitted. All it would have had would have been a standard US non-polarized plug - just like all other equipment with 2-core mains cables manufactured back in the day. 35 years ago it didn't matter which way round this plug was connected - agreed..? So why does it matter now..?

A simple question asked by a Russian guy with no electrical knowledge about a late 70's amp has been answered in such a way that he would now be almost certainly put-off this - or any similar purchase. Polarized plugs, cheater plugs, risk of electrocution, strange mains voltages from somewhere else on the planet.

Really guys... well done with the advice.
