I wouldn't defeat the grounding plug to get rid of a ground loop. There is too much of a liklihood of a power surge to ruin your equipment. For about $20, you can go to Radioshack and buy a ground loop eliminator. I have two that do the job on two of my computers.

Expensive, but I imagine they must sound great
