I never *used* to have these problems.  Ever since I moved to
a fairly busy part of town I've been getting this occasional loud
hum on my stereo.  It happens with speakers & headphones, turntable
and cassette deck, therefore I suspect the amp.  The trick is,
every once in a while that hum is accompanied by human speech!
It sounds distinctly like cab company or police car radio jabber.
I suspect the speechless hums are the same thing not coming in as clearly.
Also, the hums last about the length of time you would expect a
brief transmission to last.

Anybody out there ever experience this?  What can I do about it?
Wrap my apartment in aluminum foil?  Move?

Thanks.  Oscar Nierstrasz
