RE: A cable with a furnace problem

Great to hear Morrow sent another cable. Sorry it didn't make any difference.

I once had a dac that I replaced the supplied wall wart with a DIY power supply. Every time our convection oven fan would kick in, the dac would cut out like yours. I happened to have an old DIY power bar with a Corcom EMI filter in it. (Left over from the 70's for use with clunky and power sensitive computers.) Plugged into that and the problem went away.

So an EMI filter might work, but it could be quite a rabbit hole you go into as to where you put it vs getting a different cable.

May be simpler (cheaper) to experiment with ferrite rings on the digital cable or on some of the AC power cords you are using in your setup. I mention the latter because you want to eliminate as much noise as possible in the proximity of your unshielded cable.

Your system profile shows you have some special AC equipment. Not sure if you already have some filtered options there to try?

Cheers and good luck!
