Curing ground loop hum with a power conditioner ?


I am using a cheater plug on my amp to cure a ground loop hum that is caused by my cable tv, I was wonder if adding a monster 5100 power conditioner and running my cable through it would cure my ground loop problem, I would also consider a ps audio 600 if that would be a better solution, any help on this would be apreciated, thanks

It probably won't help. My experience is that ground loops are very difficult to diagnose and eradicate. I have tried power conditioners, RF stoppers, cheater plugs, etc, and nothing works, other than finding the offending piece of equipment.

I admit that I am skeptical about the value of power conditioners in general. But I think (hope) that most would agree that, whatever good they do, they do not particularly help with ground hum.
