Bad Ground, what can I do?

My girlfriend has a nice stereo, probably why she is my girlfriend thumbsup . However she recently moved apartments. Now, the transformer in her amp buzzes most of the time. When I take the amp to another apartment, it does not buzz. It buzzes on all her outlets even with no load.

I have tested the wall outlets which sometimes show a ground and sometimes do not. Basically I think the ground is compromised. Although this is not a good electrical situation, I am aware that her landlord isnt going to fix it.

What can we do? Good Sized UPS? Use the cable companies ground? Good power conditioner?

Ideas?
