I was having a lot of buzz and hum issues with some of my rack gear. Tried different cables, tried separating the audio from the power cables, tried different outlets...nothing was curing the problem.
I was in a conviniece store today and I wandered into the electrical isle and found these 2 to 3 prong converters for outlets that don't have three prong (all of mine have 3 prong just stay with me) right on the front it said "Grounding Adapters" which is what caught my eye in the first place. I'm not an electricity geek yet, but I'm assuming there is something in this adapter that grounds the third prong, before when I tried to plug in any gear as soon as the third prong touched the socket it would buzz. These concepts may be trivial but I just thought I'd share in case anyone didn't know...
