Guess what happens if the power plug (or the wall socket) is reversed? The chassis goes live, everthing connected to an interconnect or speaker wire goes to full line voltage, and zap, you're dead.
And don't kid yourself that wall sockets are always correctly wired - get a Radio Shack or Home Depot safety tester and discover for yourself how many sockets have neutral and hot reversed. Just because it violates every electrical code doesn't mean that electricians don't make mistakes. I've even measured *ground* miswired!
