Hum X for CJ PV-10?

I have a ground loop hum with my CJ PV 10 that goes away with a cheater plug. I don't want to use it that way, and the hum really isn't bad enough to risk it. I'm thinking maybe the "Hum X" might be the answer (kind of pricey, though). My question is, does anyone know the output amps for this pre-amp? The Hum X can only accommodate a maximum of 6 amps.

Did you ever find out from C-J (or just trying the Hum X) if it degrades the sound at all?

I'm in the same boat with my CT-5.

Joe, I know another A/V component is the culprit, but it's not easy to pinpoint, as I have audio, video, and computer gear all interconnected, and difficult access to most of the non-audio cables. The "cheater plug" on my preamp eliminates the hum, so, for the time being, it would be easiest to just "upgrade" to the Hum X, as long as it doesn't "choke" the power output to my preamp. I've ordered a Hum X, and will see if it degrades system performance in any way.
