I have a dedicated line for every component, including all six boxes that make up my preamp. My comments were meant to bring to light the fact that mechanical, electrical and magnetic interference all produce changes in a high end system.
The sub woofer affects the Soundlabs when there is NO signal going to it and it is sitting idle, two feet from each Soundlab. The fact that the internal amp is on creates enough problems to hear during two channel playback.
Hope that explains my point more clearly. For what it is worth, each position in my system has been tested with a dozen or more better known products.
I liked several of these, but ultimately the Purist Dominus was first choice for two channel and Proteus and Venustus for the HT system.
This is certainly possible. Sounds like you have a combination of magnetic field coupling and mechanical coupling from the sub. Subs put out a lot of energy that can certainly resonate the shutters and probably some component chassis. Power cords make a difference for reasons other than mechanical resonance or magnetic coupling. However, if the subs are on the same circuit as your other components, they may be causing droops in the AC line that the other components are reacting to. Sounds like a complicated problem at best. There is no way it can be diagnosed over the internet.
