I had a similar problem with the audio output from my Dish Network reciver. I solved the problem by replacing the digital SPDIF coax cable from the Dish reciever to my processor with a Toslink cable. No more copper connection between the two units, no more hum!
Sick and tired of hum-please read
JBL 4345's
Canary 500 monoblocks using emission lab 300B tubes

You name it, I've tried it. I have a low level 60hz hum that I for some crazy reason am unable to get rid of.
Lifting the ground, power re-generators, cable changes, equipment to equipment grounding, Satellite new cable and grounding and turning off the whole house except my music room has not resolved. The only explanation I can conclude is that 300B tube amps and very high efficiency speakers will always produce hum. Drives me crazy. This subject has been beaten to death but if any of you guys has any out of the box ideas other than the obvious, I would be interested to hear. Thank you in advance
