I think it's preferable to treat the actual problem rather than use a Band-Aid®-type remedy. All that's needed is to get the your preamp and amp grounds at the same potential. Do you have a dedicated line? Can you get these components on the same line?
Experience with Inline Ground Loop Eliminators?
Audio Enthusiasts -
I am running an LTA level 2 preamp to an AGD Audion MKiii mono blocks. I've diagnosed that I have a ground loop between the two units.
ChatGPT is recommending a passive isolation transformer that will go in-line with each RCA signal, breaking the ground loop via transformer coupling. Some of the recommended solutions are the Hall GLI-RCA Stereo Ground Loop Isolator, Recoil MGL14/GLIRCA and Sescom IL-Stereo-19 Pro Audio Hum Eliminator.
I was wondering if anyone has used any of these devices? Or have any recommended other solutions based on your experience?
Thanks in advance!

@cleeds - I don't have a dedicated line. With other things going on in my life, I wouldn't be able to prioritize getting that done. Would a dedicated line fix the problem? |
