sound engineer

I've been struggling for months to connect my computer to my receiver via audio cable without picking up an intermittent AM station or three. Different cables (laboriously routed) and various arrangements of ferrite cores have not addressed the problem. I need a local sound engineer to do a house call. How could I locate such a person, and not for an exorbitant amount of money?

I know it's not exactly what you asked for, but having gotten fed up with an incessant hum and occasional AM interference on my own setup, I took the route of getting a good quality USB audio interface, and the shortest audio cable I could buy (which was where the hum was getting picked up), with a long USB cable to feed it.

I think with the 20 foot usb cable, 6 inch audio cable and this item: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0023BYDHK, it came in at about $45, which is cheaper than an hiring someone. It was plug and play, and it works great.

Just another approach to the problem, if you're interested in taking one more shot at this :-)
