Noise in new setup !

[hongteck]

I got lazy and decided to rearrange my equipments so that everything is within reach when I'm seated.

Here's how it looks like now

---- ----- ------- ----
| o | | FT | | CM | | o |
|LM | ------ | | |RM |
---- | RA | | | -------
----- ------- |-TD--|
----------------------------

LM= Left Monitor
RM= Right Monitor
FT= Four Track Recorder/Mixer
RA= Reference Amplifier
CM= Color Monitor
TD= Tape Deck

The CPU is sitting closely behind the FT/RA rack.

My question is, can all these be so closely sitting together that it causes the extra noise ?

Nice ASCII...

Keep your RA away from your computer monitor and Computer/CPU/Case. Computer screens are the usual culprit for noise, but the computer case and components also put out all sorts of high frequency junk that could find it's way in. What exactly is the noise? Sure it's not just a bad cable or something? If you can monitor the noise with headphones, move stuff around a bit until it disappears..
