Thanks, group - Alan I read your article and a couple of others and am going to check it out tonight. I do have a dimmer that operates by remote control. If it (the hum) is not the cable, is there a way to check the dimmer without removing it? I really like the dimmer - is ther no way to eliminate the hum if the dimmer is the source - other than removing it?
