First off Nemesis. After a talk with a "Sales rep"? You are going to "possibly", cure a hum problem by removing the ground pin from a piece of gear? And this was deduced by the, "Sales Rep" using this, "information", which you provided about this, "Ground loop" right? That info came from where and was offered in what context and by whom?
Seriously, Doesn't the above kind of sound like a classic case of,
"The blind leading the blind"?
With both parties about to walk happily off the precipice of a very tall cliff and into oblivion. Would you have a "Frontal Lobotomy" procedure done after being diagnosed by your "Bank Teller"?
There are other ways to fix your "Hum". Many are listed above.
"It sounds to me like your subwoofer itself may be the issue".
Just please , don't take anymore "Electrical" advice from someone whom you do not know and have never met. And please, don't burn your home down or worse by following it.....
"Miller Carbon"? This quote;
"You've got millivolts of voltage potential on that neutral wire, we can eliminate that infinitesimally micro risk that hasn't caused a single death in a million man-years." And we said, "I don't have the foggiest what "potential" means but "voltage" sounds scary so yeah sure go for it."
That is the most moronic statement I have seen here on Audiogon.
When you talk about other subjects which you know nothing about it really is not a big deal. But when you give advice which could really hurt someone? Especially when you also then argue your little, "point", after several have pointed out this fact? That isn't just ignorance. It is wrong.
So quit.
Other than the "FACT", that a " neutral", or "bonded conductor", not only "Can" kill but HAS and indeed DOES kill people all the time?
Plus the fact that you do not have any understanding of "Electrical potential"? And also seem not able to "Take the hint", when people are trying to be nice. Other than that.
I am sure you are a "Hell of a guy". "Or Gal".....
By the way, this is from me, someone whom went to the trouble to become a,"Licensed" electrician.
