Interconnects, speaker wire, power cords. Ask the Cable Guys.

Re: Actually, I also installed anti-cable RCA interconnects at the same time. Maybe it's them.

It absolutely could be the interconnects, but it is would be faulty to conclude that speaker cables cannot be responsible for RFI problems. The ability for speaker cables to act as antennae for RFI garbage that is then rectified into audible noise by your amplifier has been well documented by many including the American Radio Relay League.

However, if you twisted/braided the speaker cables with NO effect, then they may not be your problem. The suggestion of running a couple coils of each wire through an inductor put forth in the previous post would almost certainly eliminate any RFI interference that existed on your speaker cables. Of course, once this test had been done to verify the noise source, I would recommend removing the inductor for sound quality purposes.
