I had the exact same thought. Actually I was kind of afraid that the speaker had a problem. Connect it straight and no noise at all.

I ordered a cat7 s/ftp and another wall socket. So I can run from the theatre to the socket with a new powerlink and from the other socket to the 18s again with powerlink.

Maybe add a tester to the order! (+ battery) They are cheap, and will give you confidence that the cabling job is good. Regards, J.

It is amazing what happened. Finally fixed it.

After like 10 hours of crimping. Buying new cables. New wall sockets. Cable tester...etc..

the problem was the original B&O powerlink 1.5 meter from the wall socket to the speaker.. the ground on the cable was not working :(

changed the cable and suddenly no noise!!

already called service to send me a replacement cable

thank you all!!
