What Morzh said.

X and Y filters don't help much with the line hash form most of the noise makers we have today.

It was suggested that they may help reception in providing a ground for the antenna coil. Sounds like an interesting idea, but I tried it on a Zenith the other day, one which I had removed them from entirely. It did not seem to help the signal or the noise. Your result may vary.
