Eliminating hum


I have read in the forum that using cheater plugs is one way of eliminating hum through speakers. My question is which components should have cheater plugs. Amp, preamp, DAC, or CD player?

I had a hum caused by me Eastern Electric MiniMax DAC Plus when I added it to my system. I used an Ebtech Hum-X with it and the hum went way. I got the Ebtech Hum-X from Guitar Center on sale during the holidays. It is a safe cheater plug that can handle up to 6 amps of current.

Like others have stated start at the preamp and sources first.
