Ebtech's Hum X Ground Loop Exterm. Do they work?

Has anyone ever tried one these ground loop eliminator's from Ebtech. It is the Hum X Ground Loop Exterminator. I am having grounging issues from my cable tv but, when i disconnect cable it is reduced but still their. I was thinking of trying one these on my Plinius intergrated amp. When i turn the volume up, the hum gets louder. Any suggestions is much appreciated.

Thanks
Brian

Hi Brian27b or anyone else who may be considering the Ebtech Hum X

I forgot to mention that I've had problems/difficulty connecting the larger straight blade or hospital grade type plugs into the Hum X. Ones from Sonarquest, Wattgate, and Marinco took quite a bit of force for me to connect them. There was one brand that I couldn't fit at all. I think it is the ground plug that is the hardest to get in there.

I have a couple of Ebtech Hum X's in some of my systems and I believe the older more squarish one has a current limit of 3 amps and the newer more rounder ones has 6 amp current limit.
