Everything is connected to ground, it is by some regulation why that  is

ground plug is in every electronic plug that is in my  apartment.



Hi Jon,
 
    That it usual. Do you have power fuses that can be  replaced, or do you 
have a row of switches for the various circuits? 
 
    Is your cold water supply in metal of plastic  pipes? Look under the 
handbasin in the bathroom?
 
 
It has  two componment inside the cable, the shield has wires and it also
is silver  type skin over the actual cat-5 wires.


Make a connection from the shield wires in the  cabler to the 0 V rail on 
your amplifier board. It does not matter which of the  three. 
    This should greatly reduce the spike problems. 
 
    I did suggest that you use six core cable with a  plaited copper screen. 
This cable has six plastic insulated colour coded  wires, a plaited bare 
copper screen and a PVC sheath. Could you not buy any? It  is likely to be much 
better that cat5 cable.
 
    Regards,
 
    Chris Chapman
