Hi, I had a ground loop hum problem with a new Ming DA 2A3 preamp I just received. The first thing I tried was a Home Depot cheater plug to defeat
the ground on the preamp. It worked fine, problem solved. I just don't like the idea of my $2700 preamp power cord (Stealth Dream) plugged into
a two dollar cheater plug. It would be great if Oyaide or Furutech offered an audiophile grade cheater plug. Of course, it would be even better to solve the ground loop hum problem without the use of a cheater plug. Does anyone know if there is a high quality cheater plug on the market? How about advice on solving the problem without using the cheater plug? Thanks.
