XLR to RCA conversion

I am using a balanced preamp (Atma-Sphere) with a single ended power amp (Primaluna).
It has a ground loop hum that I can’t seem to get rid of.  I am told a transformer will probably work.  Can anybody recommend an XLR to RCA transformer that will work?  Brand, model, and who sells it?

Thanks in advance!!

If you're talking about this model then it looks to be the exact same thing and PE has them in stock.

Did you try lifting the ground on either unit with a cheater plug first to see if that eliminated the hum?  Not a permanent solution but a test point.  For XLR to SE conversion units look first to Jensen before car audio products.  Also reach out to Ralph and see what he recommends.
