You have a shielding problem somewhere. Do you have two interconnects hooked together with a male to male coupler or something? If so, this might be the source of your problem, or the shield could be broken on your interconnect, assuming it even has one.

The Kimber PBJ interconnect is an unshielded one which has a design that tends to resist RFI, but it sounds like some type of shielded interconnect would be preferable here. You could go through an AudioQuest dealer and have them make you one interconnect (1/2 a pair) of their cheapest shielded model (All of their interconnects used to be shielded--probably still are) in the length you require. I unfortunately have little experience anymore with the typical junk one finds at Radio Shack or Best Buy.
