CATV Groundloop, toBeat a Dead Horse and the Shack

Sorry, I know this one has been discussed at great length (over and over) but I went down to pick up one of those Radio Shack ground loop interuptors only to discover that it's RCA only. Personally, having spent too much time and money on the interconnects within the system, I'd hate to now throw in Shack technology between components. Ideally, I'd like to put the interruptor on the coaxial line coming in, before it even hit the first component. Do we have the technology for such a feat? (Ok, I'm sure we do, but what's the best way to go about it)? Many thanks.

Take a run back to the Shack, dump the interuptor you bought, pick up these: Parts #15-1140 and #15-1253, tie them back to back via 300 ohm leads, insert in your cable before any equipment and voila, loop broken. Not very pretty but effective, (save slight signal loss; cheap enuf to experiment with tho.)

OR......surf on over to here:
