[QUOTE="Dan Mortensen, post: 83804, member: 2826"] Re: AC and signal cable of whatever type Thanks, Darren, and thank for the info. I feel like I haven't achieved my goal, though, which was to more precisely determine when this phenomenon is happening and why. I wouldn't think static is involved, as the glitch persists as long as I'm putting tension (maybe 10 pounds? Not a lot...) on the cable, and stops when I stop. It seemed more like squashing and pulling, but then I couldn't get it to do it regardless of how much squashing and pulling I did. It's still set up, and I'll try again tomorrow to replicate the cable configuration in the pictures, although it is not orderly.
