Mnorl: I also have a ground loop hum that I have traced to my Directv dish; but only on my main system; the bedroom system using an Integra receiver has no hum...I've checked and made sure the dish is grounded properly; and have used some cheater plugs; but still have hum....hummm...how to fix that I wonder? ideas? Knowing which piece is causing the hum; then fixing it are two different sides to the same puzzle...thanks.
Hum issue - driving me more crazy

Not sure if this should be here, Tech talk or Cables...
Audio Research Ref 2 Preamp, Pass labs electronic Xover, Bryston 4B ST amps (2), MAGGIE 20.1 speakers. All eqpt working OK.
Pre source eqpt left rear of room
spkr amp & XOVER left front of room
spkr amp right front of room
Separate 20 amp circuit for hifi eqpt. Other plugs in rooms for lamps, etc. Many of lamps on dimmers
Singlended IC's (now double shielded)are "under" flooring (pier and beam construction) & has been moved away from other wiring & cross at right angles
Initially some hum from dimmers (on separate circuit), etc. Have learned to leave them off.
But there is constant low level hum - right side only EVEN with preamp and XOVER turned off.
