Hearing local radio through speakers


I just bought a Rega Cursa/Maia and Planet for my B&W 602s with Audioquest Diamondback interconnects and Monstercable speakerwire. It sounded fantastic. I then took our christmas tree down and i moved my rack about 2' to its normal place. The only other thing i did was coil up the power cords (stock) with a rubber band. There is a local radio station tower about a mile away but i never heard this until i moved my system. Where do i start, Cardas caps, High $$ powercords?? Thanks and happy new year.

Talk about a disaster! A radio station that I used to work at decided to build their own beautiful studios (instead of renting a building). Well, no one from management (who usually don't know Jack about electronics and radio transmission) bothered consulting with the Chief Engineer. Seems he would have told them that building the 50,000 watt AM antenna (we were both AM & FM...different formats) two hundred yards from the building wasn't such a good idea (they wanted to save on telephone line transmission charges.) EVERY SINGLE PIECE OF ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT ON THE FM SIDE BECAME A RECEIVER FOR THE AM SIGNAL!!!! There was AM bleed through transmitted on the FM signal, and we couldn't use the production studio! The poor chief engineer spent three weeks constructing I don't know how many faraday shields! Fortunately, the other suggestions should take care of your problem, but if you need help with a faraday shield, let me know. Easy to construct, but ugly (WAF=0%) P.S.: Does anyone remember listening to WBZ radio on the telephone? Every time it rained in the summer, (the 1960's) you could hear WBZ on the telephones in Nantasket, MA due to the location of the towers!
