Bryoncunningham,
What's with the dedicated ground rod buried under the house?
The earth does not possess some mystical magical power that will suck, drain, RFI to it.
What you have created is a great path for a lightning strike to follow. There is a reason why all grounding electrodes of a building must be connected to one another....
Just for a test disconnect the shields from the dedicated ground rod and reconnect them to the chassis ground of the equipment. Post back your listening results.
