I fought ground loops on my System for years. When I got a Pair of Oris Horns that were 115db, the ground loop hum was too much to bear.
So, I concentrated on fixing the problem... All of the gadgets and Isolation stuff, just plain did not work. My system has SET Monoblocks that are located close to the speakers. The speakers are 20 feet apart. I have all the electrical stuff on 1 circuit. Plugging all of the components into 1 outlet helped, but did not eliminate the hum.
Solution: -- I put a GFCI on the circuit at the Electrical Panel, so the entire Stereo Gear Circuit was protected from ground faults (much safer than a 3 prong plug with a safety ground per the NEC) . Then I lifted the ground of ALL of the components with 'cheater plugs'. Dead Silent and Safer.
I spent years on this problem and hope this can help someone.
