When is a ground loop sound not a ground loop?

[QUOTE="TheSensFan, post: 1755984, member: 568028"] Wow very in depth and very informative responses, greatly appreciated. I will attempt to tackle this step by step to see if I can eliminate enough noise to a point where in which I (my ears) feel conformable. First step will be to pick up a ground loop isolator and see if I notice any difference at all. If not I can always return it. I have done a little more tinkering around and I think the noise is coming directly from the head unit (RCA) and not so much a ground loop. When I unplug the RCA cables from the cross over, so nothing is being fed into the amps or cross over. The noise is gone. This leads me to ask; If it were a ground loop causing the noise would or should I still hear the noise when RCA’s are unplugged? Or by unplugging the RCA cables, has truly not accomplished anything? Thanks again! [/QUOTE]
