Anyone cure hum with isolation transformers?

I'm not talking about mechanical hum, but ground-loop type hum. There are a number of affordable isolation transformers available, and I'd like to hear from people who have successfully used them to eliminate this issue. What other effects did the isolation transformers have on the sound of your system?

Thanks in advance!

I've been able to reduce noise and cut hum using Jensen transformer isolation devices. I've observed no adverse insertion effects from these. Here's a link:

Check out their CI-1RR and CI-2RR products (about half way down the web page).
