In these cases it's good to have a protective separation transformer and always get an extension cord big enough to fit all of your gear in one extension cord. Making a daisychain with extension cords is not a good thing.

Other problem is that if you take power from two different outlets, there might be in a different phase. This means that in worst case you have 230V potential difference between the grounds and that will cause hum and hiss.
