Been so excited to play my RGB modded Briefcase from KC that I forgot to post a photo.  Wonderful job.  Perfect with my Everdrive.  Can't say enough about it and how well KC did on this.

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: PC Engine duo RGB audio hum/buzz]

I had a similar problem and bought a better cable from Retro Console Accessories on eBay.  It reduced the buzz by probably 80%.  The cable has no caps in it so it could probably be reduced further with the methods described above.

The biggest difference between the Retro Console Accessories cable and the original one I had was the shielding and grounding.  Shielding is much better and every ground point on the Scart end has a connection to ground.

One thing I found when experimenting with the noisy cable was that on my set up (briefcase), if I ran audio out from phone output on the CDROM² to the same receiver the IFU was inputting audio to, the hum/buzz was very drastically reduced.  Note, I wasn't using the CDROM for actual audio, but in essence it seems like it was most likely getting rid of a ground loop (it's the only explanation I can think of).

So if you're having issues I would do that as a test, just to see if you can minimize it that way.  It's hokey but it did work.
