Curing ground loop hum with a power conditioner ?

I had the same problem and switched to the Monster HTS1000 and that did the trick. I did not even have to connect the amp or any of my other devices to the monster, only the cable connection. I returned the 1000 though because I actually wanted to connect my equipment and got the 2000 off ebay for $105. You can try the monster buy buying it at circuit city,best but, or goodguys where you can take it back and get some better of ebay or used. I also tried the mondial magic, but upon installation it did nothing for that system and reading the instructions states that it is only for properly grounded cable systems.

I also had the same problem with the 60hz hum and the Monster Power Conditioner that I used got rid of the hum. I did not want to spend a lot of money and some cheaper power conditioners didn't work. The monster power conditioner did a great job

Guys you are really making this complicated. If the ground loop hum is from the cable all you need is a simple inexpensive filter for your cable between the outlet and the box. Isomax makes this and can be found on the web or an electronics store. Using a cheater plug on something you might want to provide surge protection doesn't sound like a good idea to me.

I agree with Ksales. I have used a Mondial MAGIC ground isolation transformer for my cable TV for over 10 years. Since it was installed, I have never had ground loop hum or needed cheater plugs. I believe they are available at Audio Advisor... a used one was recently sold right here on Audiogon.

You go into a retail out let use thier time and turn a new piece of gear into a used piece of gear then return it and buy it on Ebay.
Your a real class act.
