The new wire was a big help and it eliminated the high-pitched hum, but it didn't solve the problem entirely. The problem is that I don't have a preamp. I will get one tomorrow. Any suggestions?

(and so the floodgates open)
What's your budget like Tom...and do you need anything other than just a straight up pre? If it's just a preamp you're after and you don't want to spend a ton o' dough I'd recommend the Grace 101. Super clean, super simple.

If you REALLY don't want to spend a ton o' dough, get the dbx 286.
And yeah, floodgateville.
Do some research before you just do out and buy a pre.

Exactly my thought. Keep those data cables well away from your audio cables.

+1 the dbx286.... Tried and true. Also comb ebay for a Focusrite Vocalmaster Pro.... Low noise and extremely versatile. Love mine.
Now if you want to spend the mortgage on gear, I'm sure there are plenty here who would recommend such excellent toys as the Grace or Avalon..... or.....
And they'd be right, too.
Really comes down to what you can afford and what you're willing to spend. But you don't have to spend the farm to get acceptable quality that will do the job.
