I don't know the topology of your cable, but you could try swapping it end for end (turn it around). Some cables are grounded on one end only. It's probably a longshot, but I don't think it would hurt to try it.
Phono interconnects acting as antenna, adding noise to system
Have interesting problem with cable related noise. I have a coincident phono amplifier and biamped coincident speakers with dedicated 20 A circuits from a separate panel share a common star ground (independent from rest of house).
There is not ground hum, but when phono to amplifier interconnects connected to amplifiers a course EMF like noise occurs. The cables seem to be acting as antennas since the noise does not change if disconnected from phono amp but stops if disconnected from power amplifier.
Interestingly, the interconnects are 12feet long running in galvanized conduits under floor to the phono amplifier
The noise is louder if i run in air outside of the conduits. When in conduits only 3 feet at either end is exposed.
does anyone have any suggestions? read that there are braided copper sleeves could try with exposed part? use tinned copper tape? or is there something else going on?
