Grounding problems-- Help!


I just bought a McCormack DNA 1. I am using the creek OBH-12 passive device as a preamp and my source is a Rega Planet. My speakers are ML areius i's. I hooked it all up and I'm getting a nice hum at 60hz. Please give me tips/ suggestion. I don't know anything about grounding problems!

One way to fix your grounding problems is by connecting all the systems interconnected by any wire to a balanced power transformer. As long as everything with a wire is powered by the one source, you will lose any ground loop. With the noise reduction that this offers on the front end, You lose the hum from the 60 and you lose the noise from the grid, and you will quiet your system down by as much as 19 db. Equi=tech has the highest reduction without the high end dropout that some units develop. 20 amp units will power an entire AV system with a 1000 watt audio system. Really, no more ground loop, no more hum. no kidding
