Ground loop hum

Thanks, I think? I think you meant to say opinion.

Chad, I meant both. You're very free with your advice/opinions, some of which seem good, some less so. Of course, opinions are what they are; advice can be misleading.

I've been playing with audio for over 60 years, my doctoral and post-doctoral work was in psychoacoustics, yet sometimes I've contributed ill conceived posts to this site. I'm trying to be more reticent in my urge to respond, but my snarky nature gets in the way. Kal Rubinson has got me off base a few times, but then I find his posts often too cryptic to be useful.

Anyway, thanks for the lead about grounding the connection to our LAN; I'll follow it.

How about using some of the various hum busting devices? I've got two different kinds in my 3 systems in my house. They are cheap, do the job, andI have no clue how they work, but they don't seem to cause any sonic degredation.

I like a debate, love to sprinkle in some controversy when its opinion based. But I think my advice is mostly sound and there is plenty I never offer on simply because I just dont know. I like to make this all fun if even just for me.
I do hope the hum is solved!

I placed a cheater plug on the sub and the Hum went away. Any drawbacks on this method?
