Something interesting I just noticed... For my Dreamcast cable the audio is affected as described. But for my Xbox lead the video is affected but not the audio. |

I am going to ground the outer part of the vga connectors (I think this is the problem) and change all plugs to plastic ones just in case. I need to add a connector to the leads anyway so this is good timing - I can test it all out before putting my cab fully back together. Cheers |

In almost every arcade game, the speaker wires are bundled with the marquee light power wires. --- End quote --- Well I think the theory is correct (I have heard this many times before). But in old arcade games (& in mine) the noise generated is probably small enough not to notice, especially when the game is making a noise. In situations where audio quality is important this is definately good advice tho. I must admit I used to have my surround speaker cables right next to my sub power cable in some wall trunking. I can't say it caused any noticable noise... |
