Ground Loop Isolators

Fair enough! I suppose I just want to try and limit it if I can. Ho hum

just say it’s meant to sound like that...spent ages working on that hum patch.

Fully analogue warmth innit

Haha yeah man, really adding 'colour' and authenticity with my badly earthed tube amp. Haha

And hey, if running your laptop on a battery helps, then get an UPS or something with a bad-ass battery. Nowadays the tech is pretty good.

i used to use a ups.. but you can get cheaper power conditioners if you want to make sure your current is stable

disclaimer: i have no idea about above thing, i'd do some research for all the options before buying 

I've had some success with these Behringer (!) units https://www.amazon.co.uk/Behringer-MICROHD-Hum-Destroyer-HD400/dp/B000KUD2G4

Mainly for some unbalanced outs to a balanced patchbay.  Sorted the noise right out, so potentially might be handy for ground loop issues.  They don't cost the earth either.

I actually bought an art dti transformer and stuck it between my interface and the tube amp and I'm still getting the amp (without any input) outputting a -90db interference hum (pretty much what I was getting before) so I've kind of resided myself to the fact that little dot tube amps ain't ever gonna work well with my laptop and just kind of live with the hum. I suppose at such a low level it is hardly noticeable but I do wonder if it fucks with sub harmonics etc etc when recorded at the same frequency. I don't know, I should probably try it with a desktop computer and see if the problem remains. I feel as though I've essentially been a bit too much of a perfectionist/ want something higher level than I can realistically achieve given my pretty budget/beginners bedroom recording set up.

Yeah Fenton that's exactly what I bought actually. I wonder if I'm inserting it in the signal chain wrong. Don't think so though to be honest. Thanks for help everyone!
