For the past 6 years I've simply had to unplug the cable every time I turned on the main amp -- the ground loop hum is so loud it's almost painful. I've gotten so used to just unplugging it, I forgot to keep looking for a better solution. Getting a blocker on the coaxial line coming in (as apposed to the rat-shack variant that is RCA) would be super fine.

By simply plugging preamp/CDP to the same outlet as one of amp, hum got reduced significantly.
