HELP: how to eliminate speaker HUM?

I've developed a nasty, fairly loud hum from all five speakers in my HT setup as well as my sub. If I turn off amp, all humming stops. If I disconnect IC from preamp, that channel/spkr hum stops. Is this ground loop hum? (I've heard of this but don't know what it means). I've heard there may be devices that stop the hum ("humbusters"?). Please help. Thanks..Jeff

I have a capri as well and also had problems integrating it into an ht system. I only am getting hum only from the center ch but I am getting a loud "pop" when I change channels or pause a dvd. If I take the capri out, the problem goes away. Did you have this problem as well?
I need to find a solution because i like the capri too much to let it go.
