I have a phoenix gold mx1260 home amplifier. It is 60wx12. When I plug in an RCA cable without touching the the ground terminal it picks up a radio station. Any ideas on how I can remove this? This amplifier has always done this. I have the schematics for this amplifier. I though about maybe adding a high frequency coupling capacitor across the source and ground.

:confused: Why would you plug the rca in without connecting ground? The outer shield is there to complete the circuit and keep interference out. Without it, the cable turns into a nice antenna...
