Because the PSB's hard-wired AC plug was 2-prong, I tried an AC cable with the Spendor sub that was IEC to 2-prong plug. It was just something I had sitting around. The hum vanished.
The outer case, box enclosure, of the Spendor sub is made of wood. At 120V dry wood is a good insulator. Your odds of getting hit by lightning are better than ever getting a shock from the sub.
If you are worried, replace the standard duplex wall receptacle, the sub is plugged into, with a 15 amp GFCI duplex receptacle.
