<< Charles Hansen is talking about a different issue >>Maybe, maybe not.
It's unclear from the original post what the actual situation is. But any modern TV has a switching power supply that is always running. And there is ALWAYS a leakage current onto the chassis that screws up both the sound and the picture when the TV is connected to the stereo system.
<< If you replace it with one of the new LCD TVs, be aware that some of these use noisy switching supplies. >>
They *all* do.
Plus LCD's look like crap compared to a good CRT. The best deal around right now is a Sony XBR970 34" widescreen for $1000 list. The picture will kick the crap out of any plasma or LCD, and for a lot less money to boot. The only thing is that it assumes that 34" is big enough for you, and that you can live with a TV that can't hang on a wall.
The Sony will also have a switching power supply, so you will still want to connect it to a switched outlet for critical listening.
