"Best way to get rid of AC buzz/interference in speakers?"
I've managed to work around it for awhile but seems it's gotten louder lately....
it's definitely the AC current buzz coming through the speakers and it bleeds to the recordings. I spent a few hours last weekend trying to isolate it by unplugging/turning everything off...but it just gets lower when things are turned off and of course louder when things are turned on...
but don't think this applies completely here as my setup isn't as the diagram...
I think I just need a component that will go between the wall socket and power strip if anything like this exists (I've looked up a few but not sure which is best)

The only thing I can think of is to make sure that absolutely EVERYTHING including non audio equipment like your monitor/screen and computer itself is plugged into the same circuit. I've gotten a ground loop from something as simple as an external hard drive being plugged into a different circuit than the rest of the system.
Also double check all wiring - if your speakers are passive it's very easy to have a bad connection from your amp to your speakers. Buzz is usually bad speaker wiring and 60Hz hum is usually electrical ground looping.
If you are using a laptop make sure that any onboard microphones are muted as they will pick up a ton of computer noise.
