I have a Sony 2002 (a 7600D outside US?), and when using it recently noticed
that turning the volume up a ways (like beyond halfway) seems to cause a loud
buzzing sound.  I thought at first it was outside interference from electrical
whatnot, but then discovered than turning the volume down makes it go away
(and the signal is audible enough I can tell there is not interference).  I
had some "Walkman"-type speakers which I plugged in to it, and the problem
seemed to go away (but, of course, I don't want "simulated pseudo-stereo" of
SW broadcasts :-).

So, my assumption is that the speaker, when operating "loudly," interferes
with the set in some way.  Could anyone elaborate/explain/dispell this, and
is there a solution?  Is this a problem solved, say, in the 2003 (7600DS?)?

One last thing:  should I be able, under average-above average conditions,
to receive Radio Luxembourg with a 2002 from the Midwestern USA?  I've been
able to receive a lot of stuff talked about here from Europe.  I thought I
might have been listening to it, but I couldn't get the volume loud enough
to hear the faint signal!

Thanks--
