Removing the ground on PC?

Well I have some sort of ground loop hum and the solution was lifting the ground on my cdp. I currently use one of those 99 cent adapters.

Cheating out the ground may get rid of the hum but the problem isn't that you have a grounded chassis. The way to address the problem is to find the cause and address the cause. As Carl109 pointed out that the 'fix' of cheating out the ground has its drawbacks.

I have read somewhere that my Wadia 302 is known for this and is actually suppled with a 2 pronged plug (without ground pin). I can't say for sure since I bought my unit on the 2nd hand market, the cord supplied wasn't the original...perhaps I'll send an email to Wadia. I have had 4 or 5 other CD players on the is receptacle and no problems til now.

My meridian has the same problem and lifting the ground resolved it. I have a fusion audio impulse power cord and Eric lifted the ground at no charge (just shipping). The other option would be power conditioning where an outlet or 2 are on an internal isolation transformer.

I would NOT remove the ground from the outlet.

My Wadia 302 has a tendency to cause hum in some set ups - I just cut the ground prong off a PC to cure it. Don't need the add on 'cheater plug' and you get a much more secure connection.

FWIW, it came with a standard 3 prong plug and the manual sez nothing about what to do if you hear a hum.
