Apart from EMI/RFI line noise, would this device also address 'ground loop' issues?

The question is too technical for me to answer. Suggest calling the manufacturer for the best answer.

No. No electronic filter can address ground loop noise. You need to eliminate all grounds but one to do that.
1246742
No, don't think so. Not really it's function.Depending on your application there are "ground loop isolators" for sale on Amazon.

It depends on where the noise is coming from. The IS250 will isolate not only the ground line, but also hot and neutral. Noise can come from many sources. What are you trying to quiet?

Also, Jeff: Even after all the electrical questions are answered, this still makes a low level hum which might be annoying. Having tightened all the external screws on mine, the hum was far less but could still be heard during the silence between musical tracks or even with very quiet passages.

Try cutting the antennae wire internally. I get zero radio interference and the static isn't as bad because the range from box to radio antennas doesn't matter anymore. For me it's a lot better

No hum. I've owned this unit for over six months. All outputs, including the headphones, have been dead silent. Have you checked for ground loops? -John

Thank you for your interest in the TLP810NET! The TLP810NET has EMI/RFI filtering up to 40 dB.

If the connecting cable plugs fit the sources inputs, the cable may be useful. Ask equipment maker. Also, you don't be fooled by painted or laminated GOLD plugs preventing Hi electrical noise levels. The info is bull crap......call the manuf.

Sometimes electrical lines will pick up noise from other electrical devices, EMI electromagnetic interference, or radio frequencies, RFI, that can affect devices plugged into the electrical outlets the EMI/RFI filter is to help keep this from happening.

his will not take out a bad grounding situation!! power conditioners do not do that. what your hearing is 60hz hum, meaning that the circuit in your system has started a loop, also if its audio, make sure to use only balance connections or isolation transformers! try using one outlet for your gear and make sure nothing else is sharing the same circuit

I noticed it too. When the device is connected via the instrument connection the floating ground will cancel any noise. One must remember, this isn't a professional piece of equipment with layers and layers of MOSFETS, JFETS AND TRANSISTORS To switch on and of the signal. So, even though there is no signal, it's amplifying the hum from the AC transformer as well. In common terms, it needs to be connected to a device to cancel the noise. Even in the ground, or lift phase.

What you are referring to is most likely a phenomenon called "ground loop" or ground loop noise. This occurs when two or more items use the same ground arriving through different paths or it may also be EMI (electro-magnetic interference) from the various wirings around it. The easiest solution to get rid of it? A ground loop isolator works wonders and in this particular case there are ones available that require no special modification or installation, they install basically "in line" with the aux cable! I found one on Crutchfield and also on SonicElectronix (eBay as well) for less than $20, although I have yet to find this particular style here on Amazon. http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_8987_PAC+SNI-1-3.5.html

I not totally sure, but I know if there is humming you have some electrical interference. The cables are possibly too close to the conduit in the walls or some other issue. I've had no problems with my setup, but when I turn my microwave on the sub hums. Not a big deal for me since it's not used much. So it's worth a try, if not return it.

Drear Lorain, This will eliminate ground loop problems with your cable modem but are your modem's ups and downs caused by a ground loop? Not very likely. Ground loop noise is at low frequencies - mostly 60 Hertz and might reach as high as 1 MHz. Cable modems operate above 5 MHz thus what you are experiencing is most likely interference, such as noise coming from other cable modems that share your line. Another cause of ups and downs is a faulty connection or faulty cable amplifier and the best solution is to call the cable company to test the line. If you still want to try this isolator it won't hurt and there's a small chance it will work for you. Eli

we are not using it to power audio equipment so i do not know if it will produce a hum in your equipment the unit itself is quiet I know some supplies do hum but the one we have is quiet

Only if your lack of signal clarite is due to a ground looping itself through the circuit. If your signal is bad just because you are out of range then no, it will not help.

Lift the ground = no double grounding - works on PWM and they did the circuit rather cheaply = so no I/O isolation, LEHenson at msn dot com Electronics Engineer

Any component will degrade signal quality to some degree, and add some noise. The real issue has to do with perception. I switch between a TV, a CD deck, and a tablet. I have not perceived any degradation or noise. It sure beats switching cables. I would give it a try. You will be pleased.
