Gary,
It's an odd problem for me, I've tried flipping the ground lift switch of the Quad Capture, but somehow, the noise level seems higher after doing so.
I've also managed to clean up the grounding issue I can think off. Once there is a small leak, I felt small current running through the metal parts of the Quad Capture, my guitar string, etc.. it was traced to a bad power plug multi socket. After changing that, the leak is gone, but the noise still persist.
