Hum problem

Disconnect the coax going to your TV, if the hum goes away use a groundbreak on the cable. Go back and read my original reply.

If your amp and preamp has XLR balanced imputs/outputs try using them. I had a hum or buzz problem that nothing I tried would fix (including sending my amp to Pass for reinspection). The balanced interconnects immediately fixed my problem.

Thanks for the suggestions. I have a couple of questions. On what do I lift the ground? My TV has a two prong plug. Also, where would one pick up a mondial magic box?

Thanks again

Drop the ground. A couple of cheater adapters(3prong male to 2prong male)will do it. Most any supermarket or drug stores carry these devices.

The Mondial Magic Box is a ground break for the cable TV.

i had the same problem & i got a mondial magic box it goes on the catv line the problem was completely gone.

Check to see if your power cords are running along next to your interconnects. If you can move the power cords a foot away from the signal carrying wires, do it. If you must cross a power cord with a signal carrying wire, then cross at 90 degree angles. This may not cure your exact problem, but it could, and it is good general practice.

First of all I don't believe the Monster is up to level of your equipment and probably doing more harm than good. Reduced dynamics etc. Secondly; as Rwwear stated, try floating one of the grounds with a inexpensive ground lifter you can buy just about anywhere. Try doing that on each piece individually and see if that helps. Are any of your power cords running parallel to interconnects etc?

Power conditioners never seem to help hum problems. Do you have cable TV hooked to you system? If so, disconnect it and see if the hum goes away. If so, get a ground break for it. If that doesn't stop it lift the ground on your amp with a two prong adapter. If nether of these fix the problem there could be a factory or appliance running during the day causing the problem.
