Curing ground loop hum with a power conditioner ?


I am using a cheater plug on my amp to cure a ground loop hum that is caused by my cable tv, I was wonder if adding a monster 5100 power conditioner and running my cable through it would cure my ground loop problem, I would also consider a ps audio 600 if that would be a better solution, any help on this would be apreciated, thanks

I had the same problem and switched to the Monster HTS1000 and that did the trick. I did not even have to connect the amp or any of my other devices to the monster, only the cable connection. I returned the 1000 though because I actually wanted to connect my equipment and got the 2000 off ebay for $105. You can try the monster buy buying it at circuit city,best but, or goodguys where you can take it back and get some better of ebay or used. I also tried the mondial magic, but upon installation it did nothing for that system and reading the instructions states that it is only for properly grounded cable systems.

Natlie, I only started this pratice after spending $35,000 (house was broken into and all items stolen bought all replacements there) at this particular establishment and then went to return a $60 item that I bought as a gift for someone at the same time as the $35,000 purschase but was not the same item as what the box said it was. The salesperson told me that it had a 30 day return instead of a 14 day return, and upon me trying to return it for the correct item was told sorry 14 day return no can do from the manager after I dropped $35,000 at that store. That is when I started to buy off the internet. This was a personal decesion I made after the treatment I felt I received at that particular store. I only suggested the person go to a store like this and do that because this is what the "salesperson" told me to do (try the little one first because it already was a open box item and if you like it return it and get one of the bigger ones, and I did..just not from them. Their price was $249 for the item I got for $105 on ebay nib). $145 maybe nothing to you, but it is to me. I try not to be judgemental of people on this site, as I feel that the internet is a place for information and not somewhere to make anonymous criticisms or judgements of people that I do not really know. As we all have free will and free moral agency, I simply explained my situation based upon my experiences and whoever reads it is free to make their own decesions based upon what they feel is right or wrong based upon their own values without someone telling them what they should or should not think or do. Even though I may be young, most of my experiences have taught me that it is not always black and white. Most of the time we live in the grey area inbetween. While I am not perfect I do sometimes make decesions that I do consider to be morally imperfect for reasons I have decided.
