Do not use the cheater plug as a long term solution. It does indicate you have a ground loop however.
It also absolves the previous owner. :)

Question about hum from speakers
bhakti That is a safety ground. Lifting the ground could lead to fires and lethal voltages at the case. That's why the ground wire in your outlet is required to be the same gauge as your power line (12 or 14 gauge) : So in the event of a short to the case a breaker will trip. The best way to fix it is to identify the root cause. Often this means making sure multiple equipment is on the same strip or outlets or adding isolators to any external coax lines (for cable/internet or outside antennas). Unfortunately it's no one solution. Best, E |
