In Reply to: Re: Will Monster Power Strip Solve Ground Loop Problem? posted by Roland on June 05, 2001 at 18:22:38:
I had a fairly bad ground loop hum problem with my Sunfire True Sub MKII and the Dish Network receiver and cable. I purchased the Monster HTS-2000 and connected ALL my electronics into it and the hum went away. The HTS-2000 does have a filter network for the satellite cable and regular cable signal. The picture improved on regular cable.
Some people have commented on a loss of dynamics when plugging power amps into the HTS-2000, but I haven't had any problems. You can find the HTS-2000 online for around $125.00. You can also try ground isolation plugs, three prong AC female to two prong AC male adaptors. These you can pick up at a hardware store cheap.Good luck,
Wayne

Thanks, will look into the HTS-2000. $125 is more than I want to spend on this -- I mean, gosh, cable is $45 a month in these parts, w/o HBO, but apparently with the hum! Still, perhaps that's what it'll cost to solve the problem. The Mondial device itself goes for $90, and it's not a power center.In response to another person's question: I doubt that Sound Advice has a liberal home trial policy. My impression is that they're like an upscale Circuit City. But maybe I can insist on the right to return the power strip if it doesn't work out.
Cheers,
Ramon
I admit I haven't read all the posts here, but I have an HTS-1000 and it did nothing for ground loop with cable. The Xantech unit did work. It was about 12 dollars shipped.-- Greg
