As opposed to you, who has already proved in a previous post that

(hint - "noise" is any "unwanted signal") etc etc.
Glenn, I said no such thing - as that is complete nonsense. If that
is what you interpreted from what I said, it only illustrates your
lack of understanding.

No, that was exactly what you said. You were harping on about "why would
you send two signals down one cable", completely missing the point that
noise is a signal, just one that isn't wanted.

No, Glenn. What I said repeatedly was that what you needed for a
ground loop was one (minimum, two for stereo, obviously) signal
connection, and *two* ground connections. Those two *ground*
connections are what make a *ground* *loop*. See where the term comes
from now? So kindly don't misquote me. And just so that we are clear -
noise doesn't figure in ground loops, it is hum we are talking about.

It isn't me that is suffering from a lack of understanding here. I
suggest you go and take a look in the mirror.

So funny!
