I've got a midi studio set up with a bunch of computers and such. Anyway, I changed rooms within the same dwelling and I seem to now have a horrible ground loop problem when everything is turned on. I've narrowed it down to the SE/30, a sound module and a mixer all plugged into a power conditioner plugged into the wall. Everything is grounded except the mixer which has a two prong plug. If I turn the SE/30 off, the problem goes away. If I leave the SE/30 on and turn the sound module off, the problem goes away. However, I cannot have both units on at the same time without difficulty. I've tried plugging the SE/30 into another wall outlet. Since it was on the same circut the problem became worse. I tried raising the third prong on the SE/30 with an adapter, no difference same problem. Does anyone have any oppinions short of running a line to a water pipe. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. maurices
