EBTech HumX

Anyone used this product before — EBTech HumX (click on blue text to see a photo).   It’s primarily function is to eliminate ground loops.   Of course, “audio gremlin” noise , especially in an analog rig (t/table, cart, phono preamp) are pretty prone to grounding issues, but also sometimes cartridge issues, ‘dirty’ AC power, RF interference entering via cartridge, etc., etc.

Anyone tried this and what were your findings?

Thanks,

Jim

Thanks everyone for your input.   While investigating tuberist’s initial comment on iFi, I noticed they have 3 different products, each to supposedly solve a specific “noise issue”:

— GND Defender: eliminates ground loops

— AC Purifier:  cleans up “dirty” AC mains, helps eliminate both EMI and RFI interference

— Groundhog +: eliminates buzz/hum/etc. that gets better or worse when you touch your RCA jacks, your tonearm head shell, your ground screw, etc.

 

Please correct me if I’m wrong on any of this !!

Thank you,

Jim
