The Cardas wire fixed the hash. I can believe that. I assume both the original wire and the Cardas were unshielded?Now when you replaced that wire you disturbed it's placement right? Isn't it possible that the new Cardas wire is now out of some EMI/RFI field due to rework?
Is it possible a solder joint was invisibly defective and reheating fixed it?
Was there something else intermittent that was bumped and fixed when the wire was replaced.
There are many things to rule out first before we can legitimately say the wire by it's self fixed this problem. In broad terms simply replacing a tin/copper wire a few inched long with another will not cure an RFI problem. There are of course many factors that could be in play here. But it's not enough to endorse Cardas wire by it's self. More tests would be needed.
A good first start would be to put the old wire back and see if the problem returns. But yes I get it. You already bought the Cardas wire, the problem went away, I too would just leave it alone and enjoy the device!
