The stuff I've read on it was from Electricians and so forth, I've had mine configured that way for a year without incident.
The ground problem eminates from the PS3 having a grounded plug when none of the other electronics have that 3 prong style cord, they're all 2 prong. Hence a difference in grounding and the hum is induced at that point. In laymans terms.

Thanks for the scoop! I'll see if a 3-prong to 2-prong adapter solves the problem.
P.S. Mods, sorry for the hijacking. Feel free to (re)move this.
