ground loop questions


I have a ground loop the hum from which I can completely eliminate via cheater plugs on my amps which is where the hum comes from.
I want to try wiring a second dedicated outlet to determine if plugging my amps into another circuit will fix the problem.
My questions:
Is it safe to test this idea by using an extension cord on one of my monoblocks to another circuit?
With monoblocks do I need a separate circuit for each of them?

A note that I am not sure applies here...I had a ground loop hum even when everything was plugged into known dedicated outlets with a known grounding point.

My problem ended up being the cable connection to my HD cable box. Grounding the cable where in comes into the house, to the same place all my A/V gear is grounded solved the problem.

I never would have thought the stupid cable was the problem!
