Solution to a ground loop problem


I have a low hum which I have been told is from a ground loop caused by the cable TV coming into the home. What is the best solution?

Better yet: Get the cable company to reposition and reconnect their ground. Then you won't need a band-aid to block the loop.

"Good luck with the cable company....been there, done that and no satisfaction whatsoever."

Keep trying. On the 3rd service call, I finally got a tech who, while first spouting the company line that ground loops due to an improper cable ground are unknown, listened to the setup and what I had to say. He then said, "What the heck! It will take me 10 minutes to redo the grounding." After he did, I proved to him that it was effective: No more hum.

I gave away my Mondial Magic Brick when my ground loop was cured. The Brick had problems with the DMX signals on my cable.
