Well said! A lot of good points that I agree with wholeheartedly - especially the silly multi-shield RCA cables. I bought the cheapest ones on the display stand, was careful about the quality of my connections, and slapped it together. No noise!
The one time I had noise was a crackling noise, which turned out to be a broken earth lead in the
internal wiring of the unit itself, which when repaired and re-routed, removed the noise. Haven't had a problem since.
