I could buy that.  I only hear the hum when nothing is playing,
however, and turning the SB down didn't help.  It's pretty quiet - I
can only really hear it late at night when all is quiet.

One thing of interest, though - I have another pair of the same
speakers hooked to my computer.  With that pair, unlike with the SB3, I
am using the volume control they provide:

http://www.cambridgesoundworks.com/store/category.cgi?category=acc_volume&item=c1swvolzz

and in that application if I have the volume set halfway on that thing
then I get a very loud hum.  That's why I decided to not use a similar
connector for the SB3 and just go directly from the RCA jacks (although
I use the preamp control configured on the server).
