When I turn my stereo I get a low level hum/buzz. How do I get rid of it? My system is a few year old Pioneer rack system. Nothing special.

Ground loops can be a pain to trace. There are two most common problems that create the hum besides ground loops. The first is wall warts and other power supplies. Don't run your power cables bunched up with your line level (hopefully shielded) cables. Second is make sure you are not using unshielded cable for your component interconnect. E.G. use shielded between your CD player and tuner / amp. Make sure you only use speaker cable for speakers.
