Remodel causes 60Hz ground loop

Friend remodeled kitchen and when he reconnected entire system, as it had been disassembled and out of harm’s way, he inherited a ground loop.  Small apartment, so moving to another room is not an option.
Only the music server is affected.  Vinyl playback not affected.  Runs everything through Furman 15i Elite conditioner.

Any ideas about approach for ridding the system of this?  Thanks in advance.

My friend responded that these posts reminded him of the electrician commenting about improper grounding during the remodel which he then addressed.

He has ordered the Jensen transformer, so we’ll find out soon enough if that is the answer.  Thank you for all of the follow up.  I will post results.

Not my abode, so I’ve really no idea about some of these questions.  I’ve forwarded this link to him so he can sort it out.  Cheers

Thank you to all who contributed.  My friend reports the Jenzen transformer isolator thingee worked like a charm on his cable TV and completely quelled the demons of 60Hz ground loop Hell.  Cheers
