Hi Steve,

Seems I'm bitten really really hard by this ground loop problem, so
hard that I
a) am desperate and
b) might need to return the box and shell out 100 EUR more for
a Quattro. But I'm not sure, if I get the ground loop again...
So I'd like to try a direct input box at first. Can you recommend a
device? Normally I only connect to my hifi amp, so cinch-cinch
connections would be fine. I did a bit of googling and found, that
passive DI boxes are the way to go in my situation. Or the Monacor
FGA-40, which is simply a cinch-cinch cable with a heavy ground filter
in the middle and is around 20 EUR.
OTOH, this one: http://www.interspaceind.co.uk/pcaudiobb.php, is way
too expensive...
