Hum in preamp when using HT bypass

It is rule of the National Electric Code that a cable system or satellite installation MUST be bonded (grounded) to the fuse box and ground rod of your house. If this is done you will not have hum or need ground lifters on the cable line. If your cable company resists call your local city building inspector and report the code violation. They will respond.

Thanks for all the replies and suggestions. I tried to disconnect my coax to my satellite box and hum is stll there. I removed all my connectors one by one still there. Finally I switched the input from HT bypass to another input in my preamp and the hum is gone. Is the bypass input defective? Well maybe I will just do with this setup for awhile and just put the volume at 12:00 oclock as have been stated in other threads until I could have this fixed.

may be the ground connection is not soldered properly on that input?

Sounds like an issue with the bypass circuit. Try another source through the ht bypass that doesn't hum normally, and if the hum is still there, it sounds like the circuit. Good luck.

Sim Audio tend to have great customer service.
