Our electrician has been here this week taking care of some things.

I asked him about doing something to address the occasional hum I get in my recordings (usually from my Apogee Duet--only occasionally)

He mentioned using a grounded, heavy-duty wire that is run to a separate thingamajig so it doesn't pick up current from other electrical devices.

Worth doing? Could it make a difference----not only with occasional hum but with noise floor in general.

Just wondering if any of you have any experience with this. Thanks!

Sounds like you may just need a new break out cable. Try this:

Acoustics are counter-intuitive. If one thing is certain about acoustics, it is that if anything seems obvious it is probably wrong.
