Xb AUX Input Hum w/ Satellite
I know this has been discussed before and I've searched and read everything I could so sorry if this has been already answered.
Pluging my Sirius Satellite radio into the AUX input creates a loud hum that follows the RPMs. This is completely gone when I unplug the adapter and use battery power. To solve this, I purchased the ground loop inverter from Radio Shack and it removes all but a very minor trace of the hum. Unfortunately, I can tell an audio quality difference using the inverter. The sound seems dull and quieter.
So my question is this. Does the Crutchfield inverter do a better job of removing the hum without ruining my sound quality than the Radio Shack inverter? Is there another route I can take to get my sound quality back without the annoying hum?
Thanks.

I ordered the Crutchfield and hear no other issues - I say that having gone to college for 3 1/2 as a music major so I like to think my ears are extremely sensitive.
