Hmm, they already run you off from that other board? Has anyone else noticed how mix and giggles returned at the same time?
Been noticing a hum lately

All of my mic cables are from Mono price! I guess I don't use the same logic for live sound applications as I do for my music playback. I am always looking for better sound, I am obsessed with better sound. I am always looking for the weakest link in my setup. I have been chasing better sound for 35 years now!
I guess I will sum it up as this. I respect all of your opinions as to your view, and it seems that by no means were any of us in this conversation not well versed in the subject matter!
I feel better with myself playing my music through the best patches and equipment that I am able to afford, with out going over the deep end of cost structure!

btw,,, here is some pics of what I do professionally before I got into the ground floor of 5g LTE development, I worked for BellCore R&D as a system application Engineer. Cabling and connections has been something that I deal with for 30 years of telephony now.
here is the latest and greatest in the lab where I work . this is the ATT 5 G network. Most all of the fibers are 10g circuits. There are not too many pipes any smaller than that anymore. All fiber is scrubbed and re polished under a microscope for zero loss connections. All power connections are bonded with no-oxidation Grease to insure a 100 year zero loss connection. We take thermal pictures once a year of all power cables to find flaws! some of our power cable are 1000 mcm cables (measure circular mils) of grade a non tinned copper only! if you have never heard of this type of cable sizing,,,,look it up!
All of the rj45 connections are cat6e and above, the above cat6e would be a proprietary connection and cabling which is soon to be released to the public through Bell Labs and AT&T.
We will soon be able to run a 10G bandwidth circuit on copper! but the cables are of the highest grade of materials only! we build them and test them,,, we change dielectrics and test them again, we change connectors and test them again, until we get it right!

I don't believe that better sound is what you're chasing. This isn't 1983. You have the capacity for affordabe full digital audio signal routing but are fixated on a 2m analog interlink. Whatever you're chasing it's not audio quality.
Likewise, the OP has developed a hum from his aging $29 sound card and intends to address the problem by throwing $79 at a Hum-X.
I'm curious, does either of you own a car with a rear facing driver's seat?

Here is the power room! each string of batteries is 8,000 amps at 48v. the whole network runs off of 48v and is able to run on batteries for 4 hours without any interruption. but of course we have 2 standby gen sets 1.2KW each. 750 hp cats quad supercharged with 24,000 gallons of diesel each!

A background in IT rather than audio, now it makes sense.
Update; I fixed it by changing out to another $29 sound card. The Hum-x is a good tool to keep in the bag, however.

what makes sense? Performance, you really are very abrasive to say the least!
Thats why you have a giant question mark for you avatar.
just as a note,,, I also have alot of sound experience in the last 35 years!
Don't stereotype us IT types ...
