I won't be able to do much testing today as the Browns game is on and it seems the issue with the sound is more noticeable with music than speech. (Pregame started at 1pm EST, game started after 3, and the post-game shows also last 2 hours!) I did notice that after they turned down the power last night that the same issue popped up to a lesser degree on my little Zenith 5D011Z consoltone I was listening to on the high end of the dial. So far I haven't noticed it on my Zenith 500 transistor radio, so am thinking it might be an actual line power issue in the house. I'll check things over tomorrow more after work as they won't be done with football until about midnight and I'll be in bed!
I also want to add that I live rural and the power lines in my area are OLD. Most of them are the same aluminum wrapped, steel core lines that were run in the 1940's and are full of splices. One line going over a neighbor's house has no less than five splices just over his car alone and one time it actually popped splices at two ends and dropped in his driveway.
