sounds like you currently have youw monos pluggged into a duplex receptacle...this is causing your loop...yes, best bet is to run 2 dedicated lines and receptacles, and plug 1 thing (in this case each amp) into it. using a heavy gauge ext cord should be fine, but be sure, the longer you go, the heavier you need...just how long do you need. I would run the line regardless...it will not only fix the loop, but also improve noise floor, background noise, details, the usualy improvements.
ground loop questions
I have a ground loop the hum from which I can completely eliminate via cheater plugs on my amps which is where the hum comes from.
I want to try wiring a second dedicated outlet to determine if plugging my amps into another circuit will fix the problem.
My questions:
Is it safe to test this idea by using an extension cord on one of my monoblocks to another circuit?
With monoblocks do I need a separate circuit for each of them?
