Sometime changing cheap cables can make a difference; I explain: where I
leave everytime I listen to my hifi equipment I pickup noise from an
Indian radio station (this is worst if I try to listen to LP). All this
stop when I change these cheap cable for 1 monster cable (that I got on
sale at 20$) and 1 "high-end" cable that I got from RadioShack on sale
at 10$. Also for the conditioner I compare a Monster HTS-1000 (retail
280$ in Canada) with a PURE AV ISO 4720J (50$ on sales at the Source)
and the PURE AV ISO 4720J was way better than the monster. True I could
not hear audio difference except when listening to LP where the sound
became more define with a bit more depth (when I say a bit more it is
really a bit more is subtle but really there is a difference. By the way
I tried a cheap power bar, the monster way to expensive and the pure
A/V. While I could not find any difference between the el-cheapo
powerbar and the monster there was a difference with the Pure A/V. So
yes there is no real advantage to go with a high price Conditioner there
is one with the Pure A/V (Beside the 12" power cord and the 10 power
outlet)

If you're picking up a radio station via your "phono" connection (or any
other connection NOT connected to a tuner), that typically indicates
corrosion at the connector. Of course, changing the cable/wire would
eliminate one possible source of the corrosion (the other being the
connector itself). Thus by reducing or eliminating corrosion at the
connection, you remove the ability to pick up the RF signal. Kind of
like an accidental "crystal set". (Anybody around here old enough to
remember those?)
