I wouldn't!  Any product that is not properly decoupled is not properly
designed!!  You are asking for trouble when you buy poorly-designed
products, and you are encouraging those who design and build marginal
products to continue doing so.

Unless you *like* the Guru, avoid products that don't have proper
decoupling!!!
