Phone line static influencing DSL quality

Interesting... I've run into numerous problems over the year using gear 
of all kinds and recording music (I had all my music gear and computer 
stuff, printers, etc in the same room on the same 2 circuits).

For problematic devices that were causing interference (not just 
60/120Hz hum, though that was the most common), often times we'd swap in 
a new power cable that had the ground lifted (i.e. we did it on the 
cheap and just sawed the grounding prong off!). Doing that solved more 
problems than I thought it should, so I'd be interested to know if that 
helps out your situation.

Try running it from another circuit via extension cord first. And if 
it's been sitting at waist level, get yer sperm count checked ;)

Regards,
Byron
