A few comments

I am pretty much flying blind, here.

If you are trying to connect headphones to the monos speaker jacks, the hum may be coming from the amplifiers and not a ground loop and/or aggravated by high gain in your system and sensitive headphones. If so, this can be solved to some degree by a resistive headphone adaptor (attenuator), connected to the speaker outputs of the amp(s) and/or different headphones.

Are you sure that the rca connectors in your system are properly grounded and have good solder joints.

A fair amount of the time, ground loops come from having different components attached to different AC outlets, a problem solved by a mains distributor that has enough sockets to connect all of your equipment.

Are the grounds you connected extra?
