GROUND LOOPS

I have been told to get all the PLUGS into your One and Two wall outlets and do not mix up with power strip/surge protectors & the wall outlet...

Ground loop hum drives me crazy...especially in my Magneplanar 3.7i speaks.

I notice all the high-end systems here have their plugs strictly into the wall.... Glad to see

QUESTION: Could one augment the ONE plug with a 5 plug adapter into that one plug? Or plug all into a POWER STRIP. like PANAMAX? And then the Panamax one plug into the wall outlet only?

Thanks so much in taking the time to write back...

Have you isolated what component is giving you the ground hum? You should unplug them one at a time and see if the ground hum goes away! BTW, I ran into Raphael yesterday and he said he got your message!!

Process of elimination to find the offender. When I did that I plugged it into an EbTech HumX. No hit to SQ.
Months later after other rerouting I removed the Hum X. I don’t know where the hum went but it must have followed Elvis out of the building. Now the EbTech is an unecessary tool in the drawer.
More to discover
