I checked your link...nowhere does it state that the
cable is rated for 75ohm capacitance...and without
knowing that is the case, you cannot be sure that
cable is truly suitable for the task.

Don't get me wrong...I tend to doubt it isn't rated
for that, given the intended purpose...but at the
same time, Monster is classic for selling snake oil.

are you certain you do not have other grounding issues
in your setup?

also, what are you connecting the XL-7 to, and what is
your clock setup?


wondering and hoping to help,
