[QUOTE="Carnajo, post: 937375, member: 4842"] Hi there, I was just being facetious and indeed the problem was of course interference. If one RCA cable sounds different to another (interference or just a very very bad cable not withstanding) I have never heard any. Didn't expect my flippant comment to get such serious responses. Thanks for insight. I have never soldered anything in my life so the prospect of trying to repair it is beyond my means but that said I think the issue was indeed the latter (i.e. current hum) because the RCA cable would cross the AVRs power cable and the hum got worse if the cable was too close. Wasn't an easy way to move them apart and I did my best to ensure they crossed at 90 degrees. That said the new cable has no hum so I suspect that it has better shielding (or possibly the previous cable had no shielding at all). Mechanical damage is possible but the cable was never bent sharply (but then again who knows, may have been inadvertent). [/QUOTE]
