Now, when This would probably be the easiest and most obvious place to start - replace that unshielded cable with some shielded or screened cable, and see how it is then. > I use the A-121 in a patch, I am getting > considerable noise and in HP mode it has > received FM (or possibly AM, I didn't investigate > enough) Mind you, I am a big fan of the A-121 and > the 12db HP sound.

Using good quality screened cables is a step in the right direction for the first question, for the second unfortunately I have little idea, but I'll skim the analogue troubleshooting books I have to see if they contain any ideas on such problems. I'm guessing that you're noticing it through the HP output because it's getting filtered out from the others (LP etc.)? If you can use a radio to identify the offending frequency, that information might be useful.
