"Ground loop" is almost a throw-away response.
That's about as complete and obvious a loop as you can have. And it's all ground connections and wire, so that's a ground loop. The thing is, it isn't a PROBLEM ground loop.
That's why you can't just say "ground loop" and let it go at that.
We ignore ground loops all the time when we don't have hum or other problems. We usually don't run into circumstances where adding more cables -- more ground interconnections and actually more ground loops -- solves a hum problem.
So look for other things first.
Jesus...you slay me Ernie.
We are on a freaking integrators forum. I'm pretty sure at some point in his life he has heard the term Ground loop. And when you hear that, it typically comes with the nomenclature that there is a PROBLEM.
Who gives a shit if there are ground loops that don't cause problems. Not needed for this post topic.
Read my post that actually gives him some thoughts for the reasoning of a ground loop being introduced.
