not sure how much better it can get....he uses isolation transformers in the
audio string, and full metal casing, as well as ferrite filters inside....
Perhaps you need the W2ihy I box which will add another level of isolation
and shielding to your string.
Also, have you tried using a well filtered power supply to run the 8 band
eq? or just the wall wart.
Wall warts are natoriously unfiltered so perhaps that is where the hum is
coming from.
Also audio cables can pick up hum as well.
