I have a acurus amp that does the same thing, I am looking into sometype of ground breaker cable or adapter like the mondial magic. I am using a cheater plug till then. I tried to find some of the cheaper adapters from Radio Shack woth no luck. I could not find anyone with a part#. I would also like to know.
You probably need to get an in-line ground lifter for your cable. A company called Viewsonics makes one for around $30.
Thanks you all, I found the problem, one spade speaker terminal did not made good contact. After tighten it up them hum noise goes away, now I can enjoy both Aragon amp and cable TV
I own a Bryston 4B-ST and had the same problem. How did I fix it you ask? Take a wall plug adapter and place it on the end of the three prong plug at the one end of your amp power cord. You can find these adapters at any hardware store (Home Depot, etc.). Your amp power cord has three prongs, the third prong being the ground prong. This hum you speak of may be a gound loop in your system. Before going out and spending big money on new cable, try spending 30 cents on an adapter. It should work.

Good luck and happy listening.
I beleive what ncarve was trying to elplane is that if you use a 75 ohm to 300ohm adapter and back again (75>300>75) it will break your ground loop and eliminate the hum.
