I didn't stop to think that the cable could be modified. I wasn't bird-dogging you on it, Mark, just trying to be funny. Bren R.

Oh, I didn't take it wrong...just feeling a little guilty in that I made a recommendation that might have fried a fellow Axiom Forum member. Now, if this was AVS......

I ran into the same problem recently. Turned on the EP350V3, and voila, humming. Quickly narrowed it down to my cable provider. Unplugged the incoming cable and no hum. Called my cable provider and explained the problem. The lady on the other end (call service in Atlantic Canada) didn't have a clue. An electrician friend of mine recommended a new power bar with the cable in/out feature. Works like a charm however the cable company is still at fault! Was tempted to try a video isolation transformer from Axiom.

A cheaper alternative (albeit uglier) is just using a 75 ohm-300 ohm transformer connected to a 300 ohm-75 ohm transformer. These two hooked up to each other. Spades screwed into the screw lugs, plug coax into each f-type connector. Bren R.

I would say electrical tape, but yes. I once had to do something similar when I ran out of hum buckers... only it had to switch the f-connectors to BNC at each end as well. Was much better than the 60 Hz crawl through the source and only had to last the one night.

Bren R. I HATE when that happens. I ALWAYS keep a few extra hum buckers on hand. You never really appreciate them until your hum needs to be bucked. OK- - I'll stop

I have a pair of humbuckers in my Gibson but I would never try to use them to solve this situation.

Don't buck too hard during the humming or you might get tooth marks.

How much hum could a humbucker buck if a humbucker could buck hum?
