I've been using this in my home multi-source/multi-room audio system (lots of ground loops there!) for a year now. It removes the typical ground loop hum exactly as it is supposed to. Being a cheaper unit, I was initially afraid it might ruin my sound quality. However, everything sounds just fine. Just to verify things, I brought the unit to work to test it out. Using a function generator and oscilloscope, I compared the In versus Out voltage from 20 Hz to 25 kHz. Above 50 Hz, it is pretty much flat for all practical purposes (+/- 0.5 dB in a straight-ish line). Below 50 Hz, it drops off a bit, but still not too bad until you hit 30 Hz (-0.95 dB) and 20 Hz (-1.51 dB). All in all, this is much better than I expected for a nice cheap unit such as this. I have graphic equalizers on every zone, so I don't really care about the bass drop off, I can easily adjust for that. In short, buy this unit, it works great. If you need to, just turn up the low bass an extra click.

I used 2 of these in my Honda Element because I just installed a new stereo with a 750 watt Infinity amp. My head unit is a Pioneer AVIC-Z2 andit has a lot of ground noise coming through the sub and rear outputs. I tried everything to get rid of it, but nothing worked. I tried the Raptor GL15 as a last resort and it knocked all the ground noise out. Unfortunately, it also knocked some of the tone out. It sounded flat. I was frustrated.

I took another chance and tried the PAC SNI1 and it worked much better. I can't tell if there is any tone loss, so I'm satisfied with it. It costs a little bit more, but in my experience the PAC works better on a system that uses a lot of watts.

This unit works as advertised, and it's cheaper than Radio Shack's version of the same product (catalog # 270-054). Plus, it comes with male RCA jacks at one end and female RCA jacks at the other - better for most applications than Radio Shack's male-male cables.

Works great.
Had a pretty loud hum going on with my HDTV after I finally got HDTV channels with Comcast. Probably due to old wiring in the house. After installing the isolator, hum was GONE. Read more
