hum from speaker

Hi,

The cheater plug didn't work for me, but
Xantech 634-00 Ground Breaker did the trick the speakers are now dead quite (when not playing : )

Thanks,

You can also use a PC with a SWITCHED ground, disturbing the power connection less than the introduction of a cheap "cheater", and safer than removing the ground pin on the AC male, as is now suggested by a manufacturer! (DISCLAIMER: I assemble DIY PC Kits offering said switched ground.)

I had the same problem when I hooked up my amp to my SS reciever and the hum was very noticable, tried changing interconnects, power cords, speaker cable, nothing worked. Well I got the cheater plug at Home Depot for 50 cents and boom the hum is non-existent. Thanks for tip, I will pass it along.

nothing you can do except disconnecting a ground using cheater plug.

I would unplug all the equiptment from the Monster 3500 and temporary use a power strip to see if the hum disappears..If so then the Monster did its job but got fried.If its not the Monster then for some reason you have developed a Ground Loop Hum from one of the pieces of equiptment.Put a 2 prong cheater adaptor on each piece of equiptment (one at a time)to see which one may be causing the hum.If the hum disappears that unit developed a grounding problem.
