Mic Power supply's a hummin-OK to use a ground lift adapter?

Forums

So there's one and only one thing in the studio here that introduces ground hum.

A power supply for a tube mic.

Everything's on one isolated circuit BTW.

A 3 to 2 prong ground lift adapter will silence this nutty piece o' hummin gear, but is it safe? (This mic will be used for a D/I'd electric guitarist who will be simulaneously playing and singing).

Ground Hum/Power Cond or what?

Hi. I recently moved to a new place with a terrible 60~ hum.

This is not a problem with any wiring I did... this is a problem in the house. I get a hum simply from plugging just about anything into the wall, especially a guitar amp. But I can even hear a slight hum from my computer being plugged in.. so its pretty bad.
