I use the MAGIC cable TV ground isolation transformer. No hum at all! This will keep the house ground out of your interconnect shields. This should keep you from having to use cheater plugs. Remember, code in most places requires the incoming CATV line to be grounded to the house ground at the point of entry to the house. Do not defeat this. Also, many homes are pre-wired for CATV in numerous rooms... during construction the CATV may well be grounded to the house ground in many other inaccessible places as well.
Help- 60 cycle Hum - ground loop problem
Help,
I have a ground loop problem creating a 60 cycle hum in my system. I have been using "cheater" plugs on my components which eliminated the problem, but this is not the best long term solution.
Just this morning I decided to disconnect my TV cable from the source (i.e. where it enters the house) as advised by some savy folks on this site....poof like a miracle the hum vanished!
My question is there any type of filter I can install on my TV cable to solve this problem? Other suggestions? Thanks!
