If you have noisy ground in your home or need to drive long interconnect, this is the product you want.

This is great!  Will it solve the ground loop hum that I suspect is coming from my DirectTV satellite coax connection?  And of course, any pricing details yet?

Would something like this be better for you?

You can get different ones from lots of suppliers so I don't recommend this particular one.  I just mention it as an example.  Also, that's not to say that the Nuforce product isn't a better one - it's just a thought.

stingfan,

I can't speak for the pricing, but if the problem is as you describe and truly ground loop "hum" - the answer is most assuredly "YES"!  In fact, the AID-9 is one of the few sure solutions.
 
The device that timothyharnett suggested is designed to be used with cable TV boxes and such... and is not for satellite systems as it does not have the bandwidth needed for them - or at least it is advertised as such. Depending on where in the signal path it is used though and the details of your setup, it might work.
 
In any case, the AID-9 is really at home when used where long interconnect runs go between your front end and your power amps.  It all depends on your configuration, but it is likely the AID-9 will solve the problem if the loop is the result of having you  power amp(s) plugged into one AC outlet and your pre-amp/receiver, etc. is plugged into another elsewhere in the room.
 
Hope this helps.

Would a product like this help passive/TVC preamps or disc players/music servers with digital volume controls directly drive power amps?

It seems like an overkill, but the AID9 improved the sound of a standard Squeezebox 3 when inserted in between.   The tone color improved, soundstage wider, and overall a much smoother presentation.

You would ideally want to put the AID before the passive TVC, so the TVC can be grounded at the same level as the power amp.

I actually have that very device!  The VRD-1FF works very, very well in a CABLE tv set up, but it explicitly does NOT work with satellite signals; as most of the Jensen products do not.  Unless you park a device at the preamp.  That is why I am curious about the Nuforce device.
