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?)

Yes I know (and I remenber the Crystal set ;-) ) but since my technics
was in mint condition and the Denon was also in mint condition neither
have corroded connector. It was simply the cheap rca cable that where
giving the trouble.
