Re: Buttkicker interference issue


David, you beat me to it!! I got an isolator in my stocking, and spent the first intermission in the hockey game last night installing it (and yes, the Leafs let me down at the last minute again). It did take care of any hum, and I was able to remove the cheater plug no problem, but it didn't do anything to clean up the visible interference.

I'm not really sure what to try next. I don't think there is a problem with the TV physically shaking, but I might put something under it to dampen any vibration it may be picking up. Otherwise I don't know, I keep coming back to the thought that the BK amp is sucking too much power or something, but I can't prove it.

I don't think it's a magnetic interference issue, since my sub has never caused a problem, and the BKs and amp are all fairly far away from the TV. I think I'm using an S video cable to go from my DVD player to the TV, maybe I'll swap it for component cables or something to see if that does anything... maybe a shielded cable?
