Ethernet over power line - noisey?

Have any of you actually tried using Ethernet over power lines in your home? Did it affect the sound of your stereo or cause other mischief?

In these discussions on Audiogon there has been mention of this issue but I've not found any actual users describing their experience pro or con taking into account possible effects on power quality and hence sound quality.

Here's your chance!

I read several comments in the forums about wireless causing sound problems. I couldnt believe how much better it sounded with the wireless turned off. I started investigating alternatives and ended up with the netgear power line:

I have turned them off and on many times and never have I heard a difference. I will not go back to using wireless after all the problems I had with that technology with drop-outs etc.
